I think the jury is out on that one still. Until there is more usage
and acceptance, at this point I'm not sure how much I trust zFS so I
only have limited use (there have been problems but I think z/OS 1.7
made some RAS improvements). Not all that much different than PDSE was
in the not so distant past (even though PDSE has been around since
MVS/ESA). HFS may still be more stable/reliable for mission critical
applications at this point even though there are no improvements
planned.
Anyone care to comment on personal experiences (good or bad)?
Our file server resides on z/OS and uses zFS file systems. zFS has been
very fast (much faster than HFS) and reliable, but somewhat lacking in
functionality. I believe z/OS 1.7 eliminates most of the restrictions.
All new facilities will be added to zFS.
Fact, not opinion. :-)
HFS is stabilized.
