The first quarter meeting of the Chicago Area VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts

starting PROMPTLY at 9:00 AM.

Meeting Location:
Well, Linux native and Linux Swap partition types are independent from the
DASD layout. Both, cdl and ldl DASDs could have Linux native partitions.
The DASD layout tells you how many partitions are possible (ldl - one,
cdl - up to three). The partition type (e.g. 0x82 for Linux native) tells
you,

assume that's what you mean when you say VM mini-disks) from Linux.

If you use the DIAG device driver doesn't that use a CMS formatted/reserved
device? This would be then accessible by CMS who'd see a single file. I haven't
used this driver for some time so cannot recall but I thought this was the way
it worked.

The capability to specify kernel parms at IPL time was developed by Leland
Lucius. I don't believe anyone is distributing kernels with that code in
it, though. For that matter, I don't know if the mods ever made it into the
kernel source tree. A real shame if it didn't.
Mark Post
Lucius wrote an EXT2 tool that works on CMS.
Dunno the details, but I believe it is possible to copy files
from EXT2 into CMS land, even manipulate an EXT2 FS from CMS.
