Problem mounting file system

2019-07-20 Thread Gadi Ben-Avi
Hi,
I am having trouble mounting a file system.
I issue the command
  MOUNT FILESYSTEM('SYSV.OMVS.PTFS') MOUNTPOINT('/u/ptfs') TYPE(ZFS) MODE(RDWR)
And get
BPXF135E RETURN CODE 0081, REASON CODE EF096055.  THE MOUNT FAILED FOR FILE 
SYSTEM SYSV.OMVS.PTFS.

Accordint to BPXMTEXT, the meaning of EF096055 is:
zFS Thu Mar 14 14:29:55 EDT 2019
Description: Error with issuing a LOCATE call on an HFS-compat aggregate.

Action: Ensure that the zFS file system named on the MOUNT command has the
same name as the VSAM Linear Data Set (and the HFS compatibility mode
aggregate) that contains the file system.

SYSV.OMVS.PTFS exists
/u/ptfs exists, is a directory and is empty.

What is the problem?
We are running z/OS v2.3.

Gadi

Re: Dynamic LINKLIST impact

2019-07-20 Thread Joel C. Ewing
Tom,
I envision this a something that could be done at the fetch services
routine level while preserving the user interface, so that LOAD LINK end
users are not affected.  The awareness of which library DCB is actually
being used  for the fetch I/O and whether LNKLIST is ieven nvolved is
surely within the fetch service code, not within the code that invokes
LOAD or LINK.  AFter LNKLST UPDATE of all address spaces is complete it
needs to be possible to determine that no LOAD/LINK is still in progress
that was initiated prior to the UPDATE (that might yet generate an I/O
for the old DCBs) and that no I/Os associated with the old  DCBs are
still in-flilght or pending.  When that is satisfied, I would think the
old DCBs could be closed and deallocated safely, rather than waiting on
some specified delay time which might or might not be adequate..

Something that is conceptually easy to describe may be difficult to
implement, and a major redesign of a critical service like fetch
processing is not a casual undertaking; but surely much simpler by
several orders of magnitude than changing all code that invokes LOAD or
LINK.

Perhaps if it were on record as a long-term goal, someone clever would
figure out how to get there incrementally.

Re: Help wanted | Computerworld Shark Tank

A friend had this long-ago story: he worked at Data General, on a not-yet 
released product. He saw an ad seeking someone with n years experience on the 
product. He was the only person on the planet qualified and he wasn't looking 
to change jobs. Uh oh.

Nothing new. I don't remember the exact situation, but I do remember an add
in the paper version of ComputerWorld not too long after MVS became
available for a system programmer with "n" years of MVS experience. Where
"n" was longer than MVS had been available.

That looks like a PARM to BPXBATCH.  If so, provide DD statements
allocating STDOUT and STDERR to SYSOUT for far more information.

If you are new to MVS, would logging on to a UNIX shell be a more
familiar environment to you?

Bill,

The DDDEF report will give you that information.

 Have a look at the 'File Allocation report' in your SMP/E APPLY output
