Well - not sure why it won't mount - your directory entries look good... what's the /etc/fstab look like? (fyi - you don't need to format the target volumes -- you're just copying right over the top of all that nice formatting -- you can save yourself this step in the fu

I would think this would be transparent to a guest it's path will be the minidisk .. which won't change - unless I misunderstand what you mean by switches. Are you presenting the DASD as minidisks, or attaching them? Either way I don't see the pathing changing at the Linu
