When copying a large compressed dasd image file (e.g. 3390-9) from e.g. CCKD64 format to uncompressed CKD format, multiple 2GB files are created (each with a separate range of cylinders that together constitute the logical volume), just as expected:

HHC02423I DASD operation completed
However, examining the individual output files with a hex editor reveals that each of the individual 2GB output files that area created ("_1", "_2", "_3", "_4") all have a CKD device header with their own unique serial numbers assigned to them.
This is not right.
Since all four separate physical files are treated logically as a single dasd volume, they should technically all be created with the same serial number.
It is unknown as yet whether this "unusualness" actually impacts the correct functioning of Hercules's dasd serial number handling or not, but it is nonetheless "not right" and should be fixed.
