Hi Tom, Last bit of your answer is exactly what this thread led me to think: Why not using automount to get service filesystems mounted when applying maintenance, for example?
Currently we have these mounts hard coded in one "service-only" BPXPRMxx that we call before applying anything. I'm thinking that I could make automount cause the same thing to happen (service filesystem to be mounted to its directory) with one less step in my job. I'll look into that for sure. Radoslaw, weather is better now than 3 weeks ago, huh? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Lucas Rosalen* Emails: rosalen.lu...@gmail.com / *lrosa...@pl.ibm.com <lrosa...@br.ibm.com>* LinkedIn: http://br.linkedin.com/in/lrosalen Phone: +48 (71) 792 809 198 2017-02-24 13:51 GMT-03:00 Tom Marchant < 0000000a2a8c2020-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu>: > On Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:50:23 +0100, R.S. wrote: > > >W dniu 2017-02-24 o 16:37, Lucas Rosalen pisze: > > > > I've also worked on a smaller shop where all users' directories were > > defined in one single filesystem.
