Robert,
I list the files with a file type of PARM-S10 on a Linux user ID's 191
disk (which is actually a LINK not an MDISK) with a function named foo:
# ./foo

LINUX116 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 11/20/2007 9:42:35
LINUX117 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 11/21/2007 7:36:19
LINUX118 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 11/21/2007
14:49:46
LINUX119 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 11/21/2007
14:50:01
SLES10S1 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 11/20/2007 9:42:44
LINUX125 PARM-S10 D1 V 73 9 1 12/10/2007
14:08:52
Then I go to a 3270 session and create a new file on the 191 disk with a
file name of LINUX126 and run foo again.
# ./foo

I see that LINUX126 PARM-S10 is shown. So here is foo:
# cat foo
#!/bin/bash
chccwdev -d 191
chccwdev -e 191
rc=$?
sleep 1 # what is the better function here?
if [ $rc != 0 ]; then # unable to enable 191 disk
echo "Error: unable to enable 191, rc from chccwdev = $rc"
exit
fi
CMSdisk=$(lsdasd | grep 0191 | awk '{ print $7 }')
cmsfslst -d /dev/$CMSdisk | grep PARM-S10
rc=$?
if [ $rc != 0 ]; then
echo "Error: cmsfslst rc = $rc"
exit
fi
I recall seeing similar "unpredictable results" with cmsfslst as you
allude to, and then added the "sleep 1" call which seemed to work around
the problem.
Somebody posted that there is a better command than sleep designed to wait
until the "chccwdev -e" took effect. Anybody remember that call?
I guess another question is "Will there be a non-asynchronous chccwdev
command/flag?" (The z/VM folks did a nice job of that for FLASHCOPY in VM
5.3!).
Hope this helps.
