Another point I¹ve not seen mentioned, and I¹m not sure if it¹s true or not... Given a dedicated volume to a Linux guest, won¹t the guest start only one I/O to the device at a time, and wait for it to complete? If you break up a larger volume into several minidisks (like a mod 27 into mod 9¹s)

Alan, With it not being a full-pack as Mike mentioned in his post, there would always have to be CCW translation, would there not? The question is whether that is a significant hit compared to the full pack including Cyl 0. Considering that, in the olden days, CP overhead was quite high

And you need to bear in mind that the rules, silly or not, are probably mandated by state law in this case. Dan's suggestion about the automated FAQ sent to new subscribers is a good starting point, and Mike's reminder (or one like it) when there is an occasional breach of conduct is perfectly

One needs to understand the syntax of a COMDIR entry. In this case, the syntax is: : nick.IOASERVR: :Luname.*USERID OSASF : tpn.IOASERV means: if a program want to create an APPC connection with resource IOASERVR, CP will not use AVS, nor will it look for an existing, started,

There is maybe some misunderstanding: (leaving out PAV a while) a device can handle only 1 IO at a time, guests know that, CP too. So indeed a linux will not send a new IO if the previous one to that disk hasn't ended yet, the guets will queue it. With several guests with minidisks on the same
