You probably had the same delay when OMVS started up, but just didn't notice it. The delay has to do with the verification of all of the files in the HFS/zFS configuration. The more files the longer the startup will take. Jon

Hi, I am in the process of building a Production zOS 1.7 system. I have converted my HFS File Systems to zFS's and all looks OK....... Apart from at start-up time of the zFS address space. I am getting a delay of approximately 2-3minutes when zFS starts. I am getting the following message: BPXP007E STARTING PHYSICAL FILE SYSTEM ZFS IN ADDRESS SPACE ZFS 60 seconds later I get: IOEZ00055I zFS kernel: initialization is complete Does anyone else suffer from this delay? Is this normal behaviour? The BPXP007E messages suggests contacting the support centre; but I thought I would try the list first! Any help gratefully appreciated.
