I just noticed that when you vary a CDL pack with a VTOC online to MVS, it shows a 1 track VTOC, no data sets allocated and 100% free. (It seems to me it should show 100% allocated with a dummy data set).
How does RVA free space collection affect this? If you mixed MVS and Linux CDL on the same RVA and the Linux volumes happen to be online, how would the RVA free space software handle the situation? There would be a mismatch between the RVA LSA tables and what appears to be the MVS VTOC. What would happen during space collection? Would the space be returned to the RVA freepool? Normally this is not a problem for us because we keep the Linux on separate DASD subsystems from MVS. However, I do have an operational requirement when I need to put some Linux with the MVS volumes. Does this create any other problems for Linux on the RVA? ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
