When you cycle the samba server, all connection to the shares will be broken

SMBSTATUS is a good thing to know.
I'm not worried about syncing files using RSYNC as the only time this Samba

It's not all that complex, just a lot of parameter parsing and error checking

Didn't seem worth it. The scheme we use works fine, and didn't require
us to change PROFILE EXEC on 50-odd servers. The package containing the
script was rolled out with a scheduled update on the Linux side. The
directory changes could be scripted through VMSecure.

We use two vdisks, plus one DASD swap. If the guest overflows the first vdisk,
it's time to watch it. If it overflows the second, it's time to increase the
memory.

There will be plenty of us reminding you on this post when you found
something happened to the order of your disks in the virtual machine
configuration and the mkswap wiped out your root file system or some

That shouldn't happen if you are using udev to address them

I'll eventually release a new VMARC, but I need to find and update the

It's a multi-step process whether you do it at the hypervisor level or inside
the Linux guest, so you're going to need some kind of scripting either way.

I prefer running SWAPGEN under CMS before starting Linux. If my primary
background were Linux, I might feel differently. Adam's fix to pick up the
disk size from the directory certainly makes things easier.

If you put the VDISK in the CP directory entry and use
the REUSE option, SWAPGEN will simply format what's there and write
the signature on the disk.
