Formatting a thin-provisioned (ESE) device that is part of a PPRC copy relation might fail with the following error: dasd-eckd 0.0.f500: An error occurred in the DASD device driver, reason=09 [...] 24 Byte: 0 MSG 4, no MSGb to SYSOP During format of an ESE disk the Release Allocated Space command is used. A bit in the payload of the command is set that is not allowed to be set for devices in a copy relation. This bit is set to allow the partial release of an extent. Check for the existence of a copy relation before setting the respective bit.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
