Any number of CMS users can have the minidisk NFS-mounted in read-write mode and update files at the same time. In this case, it is th e VMNFS server machine that owns the write link. From CMS the minidisk appears to be part of the BFS directory structure after it is NFS-mounted so you do have to know a couple of tricks to use tools like XEDIT in the BFS environment. Some hints are available at http://www.vm.ibm.com/NFS/nfscz31.html. If you go this route, you may wan t to take time to read the "Notes for Minidisk Files" in Chapter 9 Using th e Network File System Commands in the TCP/IP User's Guide.
