If you run TFS in its own address space you can make it as large as you need and it won't take any storage away from the kernel address space Mark Jacobs Time Customer Service Inc. You've been able to use a TFS for /dev since OS/390 2.8. I have been doing that at many different shops. No cons

What prompted this thought/question was... This happened a few weeks ago One of my LPARs had the wrong permissions set for /dev/null, and had been that way who knows how long. Just kind of feel foolish when a user comes to me to complain that he's getting a security violation trying to write

Looking for advice On z/OS 1.7, should the /dev file system be defined as a TFS (temporary file system)? The manuals seem to indicate that all character special files in /dev get created at IPL time anyway, so why not have this file system be a TFS? Pros? Cons? Thanks, Brian --
