It's very slow and painful to use. I don't think I'd want to rely on it for any big files; it's seems to be very load sensitive and there's little or no error correction. You might have some luck by using the FTP FUSE module from Linux (which is also painfully slow, but it has some error checking and progress monitoring stuff built into it so it's not impossible to use). You'd probably have better luck enabling a NFS server from the underlying Linux system on the HMC if you were going to do any large file transfers; that would make it available from any OS that understands NFS. I'm pretty sure nothing in z/OS knows how to use it now, though and CP can't mount it as a volume. Hmm. I wonder if VM could be taught to treat it as a unformatted FBA device, and then use something like the EXT2 tools Leland wrote a long time ago to access files on it. I don't think IBM would support it, but it might work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
