According to the comments in the source, that capability has been around
for almost 7 years:
* Maximum number of loop devices now dynamic via max_loop module
parameter.
* Russell Kroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19990701
*
* Maximum number of loop devices when compiled-in now selectable by
passing
*
If you don't read the whole thing, note that this is just a proposal at
this point in time, and currently only for OpenSUSE. Reiserfs will
still be one of the options, just not the default.

If you use the DASD driver recently talked about here, yes. (At least
the first volume of it, I don't know about the rest. Perhaps the driver
author could clarify that.) I would certainly not recommend it however.
The auditors are likely to have a fit.

Maybe. Can't
Yes. Jay said that the -linux option for dasdinit should do the same
thing for you, but I think it's worth trying. If that works, when
-linux didn't then you can file a bug report with Jay. :) If not, then
we're definitely into unknown territory here.

I would agree with Kyle. Just chkconfig it to off and manually start it
when you want to install maintenance. Note that zmd _seems_ to be
required to be running when you want to install maintenance (assuming
you're using the rug command or YOU). From what I can figure out, zmd
is what actually
Not really, because z/VM doesn't have anything to do with the login
process at that point. I suppose you could put in an RFE to Red Hat to

SUSE, Red Hat, Slackware, Slack/390, and I'm sure CentOS, Debian and
Debian/390 shipped updated packages that fixed this a couple of weeks

I don't have any good ideas what might have broken the link and/or
replaced it with something else (except perhaps a system cracker or an
fumbling SA). If rpm -V bash shows that /bin/sh is not valid, then I
would:
cd /bin
mv sh sh.questionable
ln -s bash sh
rpm -V bash
and see if it

Thanks to everyone that offered help. I appreciate it.
