Hi List and Rick.
SLES10 GA supplies an rpm for cmsfs (on CD2), but it does not include
cmsfs.o.
So basically the cms commands in the package can't be used, right?
The commands should all work fine.
You're confusing the CMSFS utility from the CMSFS driver. They are
independent. The driver lets you mount CMS disks. The utility lets you
read them, or read files from them, without mounting them.
The commands should be statically linked against their common library.
That would be "cmsfs.a". It's "cmsfs.o" you said is missing, not "
cmsfs.a" nor "cmsfs.so". If the commands were linked against the shared
library, it would be the ".so" form. More likely, they were linked
against the static library, which is the ".a" form which would have
been deleted before the RPM was generated.
Historically, kernel modules were named ".o". More recently they are
named ".ko" because the other extension has meaning apart from kernel
space. There should be no "cmsfs.o" at all if you are running an
up-to-date Linux. You might find "cmsfs.ko" (not likely since it is
broken) or possibly "cmsfs.so" (not likely unless the distributor got
waaaay too deep into the code), but no "cmsfs.o".
I hope this helps.

Hi R,
OK makes sense, but i can't get cmsfsvol to work, maybe my lack of VM
expertise ;-)
example:
ihlscov0:~ # vmcp q v dasd
DASD 0190 3390 VMC52R R/O 107 CYL ON DASD 7841 SUBCHANNEL = 001A
DASD 0191 3390 VMC52U R/W 10 CYL ON DASD 7845 SUBCHANNEL = 0004
DASD 019D 3390 VMC52R R/O 146 CYL ON DASD 7841 SUBCHANNEL = 001B
DASD 019E 3390 VMC52R R/O 250 CYL ON DASD 7841 SUBCHANNEL = 001C
DASD 0592 3390 VMC52R R/O 67 CYL ON DASD 7841 SUBCHANNEL = 001D
DASD 1000 3390 LX7846 R/W 10017 CYL ON DASD 7846 SUBCHANNEL = 0000
DASD 1001 3390 LX782B R/W 10017 CYL ON DASD 782B SUBCHANNEL = 0001
DASD 1002 3390 LX782C R/W 10017 CYL ON DASD 782C SUBCHANNEL = 0002
DASD 1003 3390 LX782D R/W 10017 CYL ON DASD 782D SUBCHANNEL = 0003
DASD 1100 9336 (VDSK) R/W 524288 BLK ON DASD VDSK SUBCHANNEL = 0005
ihlscov0:~ # cmsfsvol VMC52R
LABEL VDEV M STAT CYL TYPE BLKSZ FILES BLKS USED-(%) BLKS LEFT BLK TOTAL
open(): No such file or directory
cannot open 'VMC52R'
'VMC52R' is not a CMS volume.

Any ideas?
FYI I did the same with 190 and 191 with the same results.
