Ken, Why not use FBA directly in Linux? Can the "backend" DASD storage unit emulate 3370? That is an FBA device which is supported by z/VM and, I think, zLinux. If the "backend" DASD can be 3370, then you can change to 1024 byte blocks without losing any capacity. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
