In passing, I think you said this was a minidisk that was 1 cylinder short. Is cyl 0 the missing cyl, and the rest of the disk from 1-end the location of the minidisk?

Once you formatted the entire volume with CPFMTXA, it was (mostly) filled with 4096-byte records of zero, erasing all residual data in the process. But dasdfmt is going to do it again (sans the -f option, as you found), writing the label. This can be done without re-formatting all the same cylinders again, but it's not worth it for only 10K cyls.

I see code in dasdfmt on github:

:
if (dasdfmt_get_volser(dev_filename,
&info.dasd_info, old_volser) == 0)
vtoc_volume_label_set_volser(&vlabel, old_volser);
else
ERRMSG_EXIT(EXIT_FAILURE,

Somethin' ain't right.

Re: dasdfmt assistance
The response "Try 'dasdfmt --help' for more information" isn't very helpful. First, more information for what? There was no prior message. Secondly, the syntax appears good (as far as I can tell). I'm using the '-k' instead if the '-l volser' to keep the z/VM volume serial number: -l volser or --label=volser Specify the volume serial number or volume identifier to be written to disk after formatting. If no label is specified, a sensible default is used. volser is interpreted as ASCII string and is automatically converted to uppercase and then to EBCDIC. e.g. -l LNX001 or --label=DASD01 The volser identifies by serial number the volume. A volume serial number is 1 through 6 alphanumeric or one of the following special characters: $, #, @, %. Enclose a serial number that contains special characters in apostrophes. If the number is shorter than six characters, it is padded with trailing blanks. Do not code a volume serial number as SCRTCH, PRIVAT, or Ln (L with five numbers); these are used in OS/390 messages to ask the operator to mount a volume. Do not code a volume serial number as MIGRAT, which is used by the OS/390 Hierarchical Storage Manager DFSMShsm for migrated data sets. NOTE: Try to avoid using special characters in the volume serial. This may cause problems accessing a disk by volser. In case you really have to use special characters, make sure you are using quotes. In addition there is a special handling for the '$' sign. Please specify it using '\$' if necessary. e.g. -l 'a@b\$c#' to get A@B$C# -k or --keep_volser Keeps the Volume Serial Number, when writing the Volume Label. This is useful, if the Serial Number has been written with a VM Tool and should not be overwritten. Frank M.

Yes, but I'm using the '-k' to keep the existing label. (This is the z/VM label as well, right?) Frank M.
