I don't know if this is the same, it has been quite a while. When I
had to add LOTS of dasd to a turbolinux system for LVM, I had to do a
'mknod /dev/dasd? major minor', 'mknod /dev/dasd?1 major minor+1' for
each dasd address I wanted to add. But I forget at what number of dasd
I had to start doing this.
The other thing that just hit me about formatting dasd was lack of
memory. I was using a server that had originally been set up as a
limited firewall, defined with only 32MB. When I tried to dasdfmt the
disk, linux ran out of memory and killed sshd so my connection dropped.
When I upped the virtual machine size to 64MB, everything ran fine.

I have been attempting to add another DASD to TurboLinux (OS/390). I
know
I have done the CP directory entry correctly for the minidisk (cyl 1
not
0), and I have formatted it using ICKDSF. I run into difficulty when
the
Linux guest has the new disk and I try to do the insmod and the
dasdfmt.
The insmod appears to work okay, however the dasdfmt will not work
and the
Linux guest becomes disabled. As in not able to do common commands
such
as ls, vi or even to view a file. I cannot even issue shutdown, (the
commands get an I/O error) so I have to crash the guest as in forcing
it
to logoff.
Here is a sample of what I get on the VM cons log when this is
happening;
dasd:Cannot register to major no 94, rc = -16
dasd:Couldn't register successfully to major no 94
ll_rw_block: Trying to read nonexistent block-device 5e:01 (38954)
EXT2-fs error (device unknown-block(94,1)): ext2_write_inode: unable
to
read ino
de block - inode=71562, block=131264
Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did you correct it.
Thanks, Greg Evans
