Hi, Rachel. I would be a little reluctant to recommend to a client that they run an anti-virus software package on z/Linux on the mainframe. Yes, modern z10-z196 IFL engines are much faster these days and these system excel at large chunks of data around, but for a specialized task such as virus

Policy is policy. If smtp is active then you should run a virus scanner. If you don't use email on the system, turn off smtp. Cuz who says servers and their admins are immune to viruses? But if you think there are mitigating circumstances, then by all means file a deviation. But don't use

The Linux kernel does not consider an LDL-format disk to be unpartitioned. But the partition you see is a phantom. And you can use an LDL-format disk as if it were unpartitioned. We're battling semantics, or something along those lines. I previously used the term partition zero. People did
