We use the P-SFS instead of X-DISK. The name is up to you. Ours is called: VMSYS:$CMSLIVE.SYSTEM.
The access is done in an exit of SYSPROF calling SYSXPROF EXEC. We but it under DIRControl so we can put it in an address space. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fox Blue Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 11:04 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: X Disk in SFS Dear all, I am currently busy to understand the capabilities of SFS. Started in the late 80ies as system programmer we had VM/SP but there was no SFS. Since one year I am working on a z/VM installation and have to catch up with all the new facilities in VM. I am wondering what would be best approach to define an X Disk in the SFS. I mean, normally one puts the files accessible to all users on a mini disk that everybody can access. How can you do that with SFS? Should it be a directory in the file space of MAINT or should I define an extra Virtual Machine for that? What would be the most common way of achieving this? Thanks very much in advance.
