An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for s390-tools fixes the following issues:

  • Fixed an issue with an incorrect output from the 'dasdfmt' command when not using "YaST mode". (bsc#1182816, bsc#1182820)
  • If more DASD volumes are to be formatted than are allowed by the "maximum number to do in parallel" parameter, dasdfmt waits until one of the child processes ends before starting another. For YaST to be able to figure out how many cylinders a particular DASD volume has, that information has to be output for all of the volumes, before any of the child processes are spawned. (bsc#1187012)
