William,

I believe that is only applicable to a system running the 2.4 kernel.  Are
you running that, or a 2.2 kernel?

Subject: Buffersize on Linux CTC Driver


The IBM "Linux for S/390 Device Drivers and Installation Commands" document,
dated 18 July 2001, in Chapter Seven, "Linux for S/390 CTC/ESCON Device
Driver", has Usage Note 2 under "Preparing the Connection" which reads:

   Definitions on the remote side

   Set up the TCP/IP on the remote side, as described in the reference
manuals.
   This will vary depending on which operating system is used on the remote
side.

   Note: It is important that you have IOBUFFERSIZE 32678 defined because
the
   LINUX for S/390 CTC driver works with 32k internally. This is
configurable
   for each device by writing the value to the buffersize file for that
device
   (proc/net/ctc/<devicename>/buffersize ), for example

     echo 32768 >/proc/net/ctc/ctc0/buffersize

I'm not sure how this is accomplished.  Logging on as root and issuing the
command doesn't work.  Here's what I get:

  LINUXWPS:/proc # echo 32768 >/proc/net/ctc/ctc0/buffersize
  bash: /proc/net/ctc/ctc0/buffersize: No such file or directory

What is the correct technique for creating the appropriate directories and
file?
