Forget it, seriously. For some reason Martin Schwindefsky thinks
it is unsafe to enable disk diagnostics on s390x. It is the same
way in 2.6. So, one part of IBM thinks it cannot be done, another
part of IBM thinks it should be done. I don't want to meddle into it.
NOTABUG.

Hi, I've read the duplicate record (105023) and that discusses s390x (64bit) 
but says it should work on s390 (31bit). My attempts detailed above were made 
on a s390 (31bit) image. This disk can be used as vdisk space for increased 
performance. Thanks.

I'm on vacation until 10/23, so I am reopening and reassigning
to keep this on radar.


Comment 6 Frank LeFevre 2003-10-16 18:45:06 UTC
No need to keep it open Pete. The device was not getting properly attached to 
the image. Sorry, our error. Works fine on 31bit. Please close.
