I have updated EPEL with replacement fsiucv RPMs. I found a bug when your virtual machine is much larger than 2G. IUCV only supports 31-bit addresses so kernel storage needs the GFP_DMA attribute when obtaining with kmalloc() etc. The RPMs are syncing to the external repo now.

Zimbra FOSS seems to build fine except for the JNI piece. I can't seem to get it to create the .so. I assume it's a configuration issue. Only a couple of changes required (i.e. let it recognize s390x as a target). On 8/20/19, 01:10, "Linux on 390 Port on behalf of Timothy Sipples" wrote:

1st of all never go MW. Secondly you've linked 191 as 999 but then accessed 191. 191 is still r/o. If you're on LNXADMIN then LINK * 191 191 W. Then ACC 191 A (you could just use ACC but if you're setup to use SFS you may not get what you're expecting). Otherwise LINK LNXADMIN 191 99 W# ACC 999

You don't. The FTPSERVE use will try to link LNXADMIN 191 and access it. If LNXADMIN has the disk r/o that will allow FTPSERVE to link it r/w. So get rid of the W disk - REL W(DET. Then go to the ftp client and try to connect as LNXADMIN. Original message From: Jake Anderson

Not in many years when mounting an ISO image for use in an FTP installation required what was called "Rock Ridge Extensions". This was back in the days of Win2K and WinXP so I can't imagine this is still required today. On 9/10/19, 11:58, "Linux on 390 Port on behalf of Jake Anderson" wrote:
