I am making a file system image of /dev/dasd{x} using dd and shipping that
file over to the target sytem work volume and Then mounting it on the
loopback device and doing a tar -clSp per the move file system howto. I
figure if it works for making iso images of CD's, then it should work for
this

I was thinking more of rsync without any mounting at all.
If the volumes are mis-sized and z/VM won't work with them as they are, I
don't see too many options that don't involve moving the data twice.
Either
use afio to dump everything to tape and read it back in on the z/VM guest,
or use some sort of network-based copying. I use rsync a lot and am very
comfortable with it. There are likely better ways of moving many GB of
data
over the network, but I can't offer any personal experience there.
If moving the data multiple times doesn't bother you, then get some
additional volumes that are accessible from both systems, create file
systems on them from the z/VM guest (just to make sure the guest will work
with them properly), and move the data from LPAR disks to the intermediate
disks and then to z/VM guest disks.

I have a GBE. You thinking NFS mount them?
Is there a way to just have z/OS native LPAR linux volumes show up readable
by linux in VM?

How much network bandwidth do you have between the Linux LPAR and the Linux
Guest, compared to how much data you need to move?
