>But VM doesn't, and if you're doing minidisks, you lose in some scenarios. Linux absolutely does in all cases (well, not SAN, but GDPS doesn't know what that is), even on minidisks under VM. BTDT got the scars mixing those non-timestamped and timestamped together :) No dedicates to be seen anywhere here...
If you need VM too, call IBM. Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Having to dedicate disks just because IBM hasn't yet been browbeaten into supporting the feature is kinda hackish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
