For other people having this problem

Just talked to IBM support, raw volumes are  not supported yet under
linux.(tsm 5.2.2) The support person told me he would ask the developer
when and how it will be supported.
When I hear some more I will keep you guys updated.

thnx

I tried using raw logical volumes a while ago and had the same troubles. I
seem to remember finding a document which stated that raw disk access was
not supported on Linux.
