1) Don't Know. I've never had a need to investigate. 2) Don't Know. My ZFS's have all been 1 volume (3390-3) or less. 3) Don't Know. I've never had an EAV volume to worry about.
A ZFS is just a linear VSAM dataset (to MVS). The only difference is the method of accessing the data by Unix System Services. AFAIK, anything that can be done to a non-ZFS linear VSAM dataset can also be done to a ZFS. <snip> I should RTFM, but I'll ask: 1. Can ZFS LDS be striped? 2. Can ZFS LDS be "extent-infinite" (a VSAM feature which arrived with z/OS 1.7)? 3. Are there any constraints for ROOT ZFS, i.e. non-EAS ("upper" part of EAV volume), etc? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
