Eh? Why not? I don't mean to use one of the "regular" Linux guests, but one specifically built for this purpose. The elegance of the solution is probably proportional to the amount of effort expended. ssh into Linux Repair Station LRS: Hello, my name is Larry. Please type the name of the userid you want to fix. LRS: I'm sorry. I didn't understand you. Try again. LRS: Thank you. You typed WAS005. Is that correct? LRS: Thank you. Please enter the password for WAS005 LRS Thank you. Your password was accepted. LRS: Please wait while I read the configuration from the Repair Station Configuration Archive. LRS: Thank you. I have the configuration information. LRS: The disks are mounted at /mount/WAS005. LRS: Please type "LRS FINISHED" when done : LRS: Thank you for using the Linux Repair Station. Please visit again soon! Bye! Of course, whether something like that would work depends entirely on what/how you need to repair it. Permission to the /mount/WAS005 directories was dynamically set to the user who logged into the LRS. I dunno nothin' 'bout no LVM groups, so I don't know what it takes to repair them. A mere implementation detail! :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
