I've used REPRO as a way to quickly expand a filesystem and had no issue, as part of my maint procedure I prefer to use pax
pax -rwkv -pe . /Service/SYSx/ I think the BPX Rexx exec to convert HFS to ZFS uses pax also, and yes, system auditing flag are an issue if you don't have audit authority, user audit I can turn off as uid(0) Carmen ----- Original Message ----- From: "John McKown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2017 12:19:37 PM Subject: Re: Extended format system ZFS files On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 12:05 PM, Lizette Koehler <[email protected]> wrote: > When I used REPRO on a zFS the same size was used no matter how the TO > file was set up.

If there is a "mount point" with a second filesystem mounted on it below the "source" directory, then all the data on that (and any other) filesystem will also be copied to "target". Which is rarely what is wanted. It is better to run "pax" in copy mode. pax -M -peW -X source target Note that the pax command above will most likely need to be done with an effective UID of 0 (I use "sudo", but installation of that is optional) and by a user with the RACF AUDITOR attribute (the W copies the audit attributes and requires RACF AUDITOR). > > This way I keep my files and attributes, etc in tack in the target file > > Lizette > > -- *L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu* Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
