A few years ago (2013) Linux started supporting "raw-track access mode" to
ECKD DASD, beginning with Linux kernel Version 3.11. Eberhard Pasch briefly
describes raw-track access mode here:

http://linuxmain.blogspot.sg/2013/11/raw-eckd-access-from-zlinux.html

I'm wondering if anybody uses raw-track access mode to copy and backup z/OS
volumes, including startable volumes, and what your experiences are. Please
note that the z/OS volume(s) should be offline (to z/OS) before accessing
them from Linux. Nonetheless, raw-track access mode seems like an
interesting way to use Linux on z for certain z/OS-related maintenance
tasks, especially for development and testing. Raw-track access mode also
applies to the other operating systems that can use ECKD volumes (z/VM,
z/VSE, z/TPF).

Well, maybe you know z/OS can also copy the volumes using "raw track access mode". AFAIK this feature is older than Linux. Of course, I can use Linux to copy z/OS volumes, or z/VM to copy Linux (and z/OS) volumes, but I see no reason for that. BTW: in many cases I can use DASD box features to do the job, so operating system is only one of the ways to issue command.
