Hi!
Does someone know how to access the 3494 tape library from a linux running on a z800??
I've read many docs, but I didn't get a clear answer.
I can access the tape drive (3590) with OCO modules, but I cannot ask for a tape...
Does it works trough FICON channel (as with zOS?), or only with

Larry,
Pretty much correct. If you have an /etc/zipl.conf on your system, I would
verify that the contents point to the kernel and initrd that you want.
You'll probably want to re-run the mkinitrd command to make sure your initrd
has the latest (if any) kernel modules in them. Then, re-run zipl
Daniel,
Since ext3 is advertised as ext2 with a journal, I would say that the
journal is the only additional overhead you'll see in terms of disk space
usage. According to the Boeblingen lab folks, ext3 was the best compromise

I believe that kernel modules should take arguments on the insmod

Well ... after all that, it was a typo. [blush]
One of the lines in chandev.conf has all three addrs,
