A common way to prepare a z/VM mini disk is to format the real device with a z/VM tool like CPFMTXA and then define a mini disk that excludes the first cylinder, i.e. the cylinder 0 of the virtual disk is located at cylinder 1 of the real device. The DASD device driver will recognize such a mini disk as formatted, as the uniform record layout on the disk matches that of an LDL formatted device. However, the cylinder value in the 'count' field of the ECKD records matches the geometry of the real device, and not that of the mini disk, so I/O requests will fail with 'record not found' errors. To make the mini disk usable, it needs to be formatted with a tool like dasdfmt. To enable tools like distribution installation tools to recognize this situation, the DASD device driver should report such a mini disk as 'not formatted'. To this end we need to extend the device recognition code to check not just for proper record sizes, but also for proper cylinder/head/record values.
