Warning: some CKD/ECKD-only routines cannot handle cylinder numbers larger than 65535; FBA routines can handle 2**32-1. 0058 88 Dbl-Word 8 MDIVEXTN (0) Virtual DASD cylinder/block extents 0058 88 Signed 4 MDIVSEXT Virtual DASD start cylinder/block 005C 92 Signed 4 MDIVEEXT Virtual DASD end cylinder/block All MDISK blocks representing existing virtual dasds (whether "minidisks" or "tdisks" but not "dedicated dasds") are chained in no particular order from the RDEV block. The virtual dasd VDEV blocks in use on this extent are doubly-chained from this MDISK block in descending "link access mode" order. The first VDEV's backward pointer points to the end of the chain. 0060 96 Signed 4 MDIVLINK Pointer to next linked VDEV Counts representing the sum of all VDEVs chained from this MDISK having the specified "link access mode." See also MDIEXCLU bit in MDISMFPO byte. MDILINKS = MDIRDCNT + MDIWRCNT. A stable-read link would be counted once in each of MDIRDCNT and MDISTCNT. These counts summarize the thousands of VDEVs that could be chained from this MDISK block. 0064 100 Signed 4 MDIRDCNT Read link count for minidisk 0068 104 Signed 4 MDIWTCNT Write link count to minidisk 006C 108 Signed 4 MDISTCNT Stable link count for minidisk The minidisk owner is either the user who has the MDISK statement in the directory or the user who created this extent (not using the directory). 0070 112 Character 8 MDIOUSER Mini-disk owner userid 0078 120 Signed 2 MDIOVDEV Mini-disk owner VDEV number MDIHSHID may contain one of the following values: Zero - This minidisk isn't eligible for MDC caching RDEVHSID - when positive, the minidisk is eligible for MDC caching and this field is used to create the MDC hash key. When negative (bit 0 is on), MDC caching is not permitted for this minidisk. X'FFFF' - this minidisk is an FBA device and is not page aligned and is not eligible for MDC caching. Note that if MDIHSHID is positve, caching is allowed provided that it permitted at the system level. 007A 122 Signed 2 MDIHSHID MDC Hash ID MDISK blocks representing tdisks are chained in extent-order from the CPVOLume extent EXTBK within which they reside. This mechanism is used to distinguish free tdisk space from tdisk space in use. 007C 124 Signed 4 MDITNEXT Ptr to next MDISK on EXTBK chain 0080 128 Signed 4 MDIEXTBK Ptr to parent EXTBK MDISK blocks representing Vdisks use the following field to chain in the Qdisk block. 0084 132 Address 4 MDIQDISK Address of QDISK block for Vdisk Miscellanea 0088 136 Signed 4 MDICYLMP Minidisk cache cylinder map. If high order bit on, points to address of cyl map indicating the format of each cylinder. If off, then so far entire mdisk is std and this field contains the DPSBK address for that size. Updated with Compare and Swap. 00000012 MDISIZE ((*-MDISK+7)/8) SIZE IN DWS FOR FREE/FRET
