FICON would help with the data transfer, but PAV is what would help with the
multiple simultaneous reads/writes.
Since you are ESCON, you are not PAV capable, so the next best solution
would be to spread the data across as many volumes as possible. If you have

Yes. I think if you look carefully you will see that each record in your file ends

If you remove all the Windows line-endings, you won't need your workaround.
If the file gets periodically re-created and uploaded, you can either:
Do an ASCII transfer, which will also remove the Windows line-endings

Red Hat was probably thinking that this would generate more revenue. IBM generates
revenue on hardware support, so software is not as important as it is to Red Hat.

barrier refers to barrier writes. I have no idea what it means to
hardware, but when Linux on z tries to do barrier writes to SCSI disk on a
shark with multipathing, it fails. ( at least, with current code it does )
basically it means when you mount multipathed SCSI devices, you have to
