* Why NFS and NFSLOCK use this ports instead of 111 (Portmapper)??? RPC services use portmapper to request a port to run on. The idea is to have the service come up, ask where it should run, and then run using the answer it is given. To do that, the service needs to have a fixed place to ask for

Actually, all you need to do is activate the device, format it and get it where you want it, then run mkinitrd and zipl, and it will be available in the following boot. If you manage to mess up enough that you can't get to the yast2 menus (like I did this morning), the command to activate a

I know all about the chccwdev command. That's not the problem I am encountering - It's twofold. Extending from the 'virtual server to lpar in 2 days' redbook, which basically makes a 2 volume system (swap and system). I then IPL that system and using a funky tar command I picked up from the how

It's an approximation of how many pages are needed by members of the dispatch list in order to run. It's sort of kind of meaningless, especially in linux vm environments where linux machines have gigantic working sets. Performance reports can give a better number. David Harris, Nick J. rote:

IIRC, crt{n,i,0}.o are built in glibc. If I didn't want to go through cross-building glibc, I'd just: transfer all these from a real s390x machine to the place where your cross binutils/gcc expects to find them. But if you want a full cross-development environment, you'll need a glibc anyway: you
