Search390 user "RonHahn" posted the following in the Operating Systems forum and needs your help: "I am implementing Unix System Services for the first time on a three-system sysplex under OS/390 V2.10. IBM did a good job describing how to handle the 'version' directories and the 'system specific' (/etc, /dev, /tmp, /var), but left out how to handle /u. I plan on using automount for /u, but do not know whether to use a separate HFS for each system or a single HFS for all three systems. Can you tell me how you've handled /u?" Think you can help? If so, please post your suggestions: http://search390.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?msgInContext@;150.Ogtga1XFuVn.1@.ee83ff6/461!viewtype=convdate&skip=&expand= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | The "Secrets" out and Potter's fodder for Net pirates If you want to welcome back Potter and see Harry's new movie before it hits the theater, you don't need to be a wizard. You do need powers though -- power to your computer and power to your modem. Evidently the geeky scofflaws of cyberspace have already scooped the new "Chamber of Secrets" movie days before its theatrical release. A Web site called uNDeR.THe.iNFLueNCe claims to have it, and they probably got it from sneak preview showings last week in the U.K. Warner Brothers officials said that they found an alleged copy of the movie on the Net only to discover it was a blank decoy. It's unclear if they visited the aforementioned site. Whoever's doing this better hope they don't get caught. Warner Brothers is in a prosecuting mood over this Hogwarts hijacking.
