John, SDSF uses the SSI and Spool browse facility (allocation of subsystem datasets). I don't see either of these running on z/Linux with shared DASD easily.
What about FTP or SSH SFTP from Linux to z/OS for spool access? FWIW, we recently added some support for spool status and file access in Co:Z SFTP, which is accessible securely from zLinux (or any system with ssh connectivity to z/OS.
