SFS is new for us. I have been happy using regular minidisks in the past but if there is a good reason to start looking at SFS (better for SSI, LGR, DR, etc.), we will try to get up to speed on it. Another question about the redbook is creation of the files under VMWW2. Would you not have to define a userid VMWW2 and create a directory prior to accessing the directory? Here is the portion of the redbook in question.
===> enroll user vmww2 vmpsfs ( blocks 5000 << there is no step in the book to create a user. ===> access vmpsfs:vmww2 z (forcerw << shouldn't there be a step to create the directory? ===> copy VMWW2 VMARC M = = Z ===> erase VMWW2 VMARC M Chris Will -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 4:28 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Change common service filepool name from POOL1 to VMPSFS - New z/VM cookbook questions On Thursday, 11/05/2015 at 12:06 EST, "Will, Chris" <cw...@bcbsm.com> wrote: > I have been going through the new z/vm 6.3 cookbook that uses sfs for many > functions.

If an answer doesn't appear soon, I suggest opening a PMR.
