You can use 'ed' from a 3270, and it is on most distributions. Not fun, but better than nothing.

People, In playing around today with MDISKS, sharing between linux instances, adding dasd to instances, I made a boo boo. I accidentally did a #cp logoff and not a disc. So, I booted the instance but it comes back in a safe mode due to me in the process of adding dasd to it, saying it can't mount the "new" dasd cause it might have a bad superblock. It tells me to repair it manually and reboot. So I figure since I can log in as root, and change over to r/w mode, I'll just undo my changes, and start over. Well, vi, 3270, it's not pretty. SO, before I up and nuke this instance and start over, it made me curious if I was missing some way to repair it. I figure sometime in the future I will probably need it to fix a production instance. Is there another way to edit, remove my changes, and reboot the instance? THANX!!!!! Brian W.
