If you files are truly system-specific then you probably want automove unmount. Noautomove can leave the files entries in the mount table even after the system is down. That can cause other issues should you need to mount them on another system for problem determination or maintenance.

My Unix envrionment on z/OS V1.9 is one system/one set of UNIX files. So, yes, I have a lot of duplicated files. However, from time to time I notice I will see the following message in SYSLOG IGW026I HFS FILE SYSTEM: SYS1.SPG7.OMVS.DB2V91.SDSNAHFS 202 MOUNT REQUEST FAILED, RESOURCE HELD EXCLUSIVE ON: SPG7 RESOURCE HOLDER: OMVS ASID: X000E TCB: X009DB360 I am thinking that I should add NOAUTOMOVE to the MOUNT statement in BPXPRMxx for these files - because they truely cannot move. Am I correct in this thought? If I could get to a SYSPLEX ROOT, then I would be using a different approach. However, it is not there yet.
