Hi, Bob.

Unfortunately, the "basevol/guestvol" approach invented by CA's Bill
Scully for SLES 8 and similar Linux kernels does not work with the newer
 SLES9 version. There was a significant change between SLES8 and SLES9
in device handling and the manner in which the "mount --bind" remounting
command works.

To the best of my knowledge, Bill's basevol/guestvol approach has not
been updated to support th way things now work in SLES9 (which, imho, is
a real shame because it's a very slick way of sharing DASD among VM
Linux guests.)

Hello all,

I am trying to build a Basevol/Guestvol Shared OS DASD system. It appears that
the SuSE 9 system is different from SuSE 8. I have a bunch of SuSE 8 system
up sharing the OS. Is there anything special to make the SuSE 9 work?

and does it work if the shared OS dasd is an LVM?
