Yes, I think you're right.....but the concept I am trying to understand
here is that you can not share an FCP based file system the same way
it's possible to share (r/o) a 3390 based one...it can not be done via
a simple r/o LINK statement in the user's VM directory entry, coupled
with a non-journaling file system on the DASD itself.
To share r/o FCP based file systems, you will need to set up a some sort
of clustered file system (e.g., AFS) possibly along with a Linux
controller or two, plus networking must be up and available as well. Do
I understand that correctly?
If I do have that right, then sharing FCP based file systems is more
effort than sharing ones kept on "normal" S/390 DASD devices.....
Thanks and have a good one.

mistaken?
I suspect that you would still need some kind of cluster file system
(eg, Lustre, GFS, OCFS, etc) to make that safe.
