Even when the disks have been used before (i.e. he did ICKDSF install) then that does not explain whey the dasd driver refuses to pick them up. Now I probably did not stare long enough to the source, but it looks like there are no fixed constants in it, so that should be fine. For what I could tell it looked like there is support for 3390's on a 3880 and I figure that could be a typo there.

Another possibility, if it was a 3380 attached to a 3990 controller - the original mail from Maciek implies that he used ICKDSF to format the disk, which doesn't build a Linux compatible layout either. He should use dasdfmt instead. Ingo

If the 3380's are behind a 3990 Control Unit I suppose one could go and remove all coded dependencies on 3390 geometry, but if this is indeed a non-ECKD control unit then it would be painful.
Re: DASD layout error
My understanding is that the old, old, old, _real_ 3380 devices don't support ECKD, which is necessary for support in Linux/390. If those are indeed that type of device, then I believe you are out of luck.

I use old 3380 DASD's. My RedHat 7.2 doesn't want to make use of them because: "No records after VTOC ! Volume has incompatible layout." And another message says that the volumes are of 3380/1E type whereas the expected type is 3380/00. Could anyone please explain to me what to do ? I tried 'INSTALL" and "INIT" from ICKDSF but it did not change anything. I will appreciate any suggestions.
