I haven't started looking at the migration book yet. I will be doing so shortly - along with reviewing your most excellent migration sessions from the last SHARE in Baltimore. :-) Before I ever changed /var to a TFS (way back when), I *though* I read somewhere that IBM would never put persistent data in it.
