Peter, It does work great, doesn't it? No worries about having the wrong HFS mounted to go with your RESVOL, and always IPL with the correct root (or version, if you have a Sysplex shared HFS structure implemented).
Do you have any other products installed in their own HFS? I know that JAVA doesn't play nice with Automount. I suspect the others don't either, but I'm not certain yet.
