Thanks to John and others for advice
and extra special thanks to Leland for contributed code. Nice work!
CMS FS 1.1.8 supports loopback mount.
This means that you can have an image of an EXT2 filesystem
on a CMS minidisk and mount it with "-o loop". Very exciting.
As always, no warranty stated or implied, it's GPL.
Those interested, please find the latest TARball at
ftp://ftp.bmc.com/pub/cmsfs/cmsfs-1.1.8.tar.gz
The utility built reasonably well on six platforms:
Linux-i386
Linux-s390
Linux-s390x (64-bit)
AIX-powerpc
SunOS-sparc (that is Solaris)
z/VM 4.3 (CMS 19, that is OpenVM)
These are each represented by their own TARball.
The old 2.2 driver built on Linux-i386 and Linux-s390
but I DID NOT TEST IT and it does not have the loopback support.
The 2.4 driver built on Linux-s390, and I tested it.
No luck with the driver on Linux-s390x (64-bit).
