Documentation of Host File devices is found in Chapter 18 of the Kernel
Systems Manual. The GTM-UNIX-HFS entry in your message does not include a
value for ASK HFS I/O OPERATION. This would allow specifying the file mode,
i.e. read or write, etc. at the time of device selection. Alternatively the
device could be configured to "noreadonly" and "newversion" etc. by adding
OPEN PARAMETERS. Answering YES to ASK HFS IO OPERATION obtains the
flexibility of using the same device entry for both input and output. The
field ASK DEVICE is irrelevant, since HFS is not a signon device. Also
OUT-OF-SERVICE DATE is not required.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] What is GTM-UNIX-HFS?
I am sorry about asking such a general question but my understanding about
GTM-UNIX-HFS is murky. I didn't have it on my system so I created it.
NUMBER: 43 NAME: GTM-UNIX-HFS
$I: /home/ibk/tmp/hfs.dat ASK DEVICE: YES
ASK PARAMETERS: NO QUEUING: ALLOWED
LOCATION OF TERMINAL: localhost ASK HOST FILE: YES
OUT-OF-SERVICE DATE: JAN 01, 2030
MNEMONIC: HFS
SUBTYPE: P-OTHER TYPE: HOST FILE SERVER
I arbitrarily created the hfs.dat file having seen this mentioned in
various documents. I tried to write out some files to disk but don't see
anything in the respective file.
How do I use this device ? Is it purely a method to write out files? Can I
access it over the network? And how does this device relate to the Linux
file system? (in this case a reiserfs) Perhaps someone could kindly point
me to some document that talks about this.
Thank you.
Ismet
