Since the doctor ordered ... What I've done is copy snap-shot filesystem images over to P/390 and things like that and present them as 3370 to Linux. Works immediately. (P/390 support complained about lack of an IBM label on the disk, but otherwise no problem.) I've also put ISO 9660 filesystems onto FBA (both emulated via SCSI and VDISK). Works directly. No problems. No changes to Linux. It's just another filesystem.
