Clearly the storage admins you asked have never felt the pain of z/OS Unix filesystems because they are insignificant. Have him pretend he has a 100TB filesystem and ask him how he will restore your files. What tool will he use when the filesystem is full causing hundreds of users to fail? How will he migrate inactive z/OS Unix files to free up space? Is he willing to add an additional 10TB to the filesystem which will never be freed? When a storage admin doesn't want to fully understand z/OS Unix filesystems, what options do you think they have? While automount has problems, it gives storage admins a solution they can deal with in their world. They can ignore storage quotas and use extents to limit size. I'm not saying automount is a great solution but there are people who find it useful. z/OS Unix filesystems are not a great solution but we've learned to live with it's problems. How is automount any different? b -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
