The Redbook Kris is referring to can be found here:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245148.html?Open. There is an overview
of BFS is
Chapter 2.
Another Redbook that might be of interest is "OpenEdition for VM/ESA A
Implementation and
Administration Guide"
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244747.html?Open).
Have a good one.

A useful Redbook or Redpaper, or whatever category it could be put into, would
be very
useful. There must be others besides me who would benefit from everything
being in
one place and being complete. What Alan said in his response to my post was not
mentioned anywhere that I've seen. As I've said before, I generally spread out
new
releases or maintenance by pointing the production systems to the new code. I
never
thought of something new being in the VMSYS filepool. I don't think I've had
to do
anything with the SFS file pool space since SFS first came out. It doesn't get
much
use other than DFSMS and that's pretty light. When will the new Redbook come
out? I'd
be happy to see a beta version of it.

Seeking for some brief SFS/BFS overview: a certain DJ, well known here, might
remember I asked him in 1998 to devote a small section of the VM/ESA Network
computing with Java And NetRexx (SG24-5148) Redbook to it. I wrote something similar
for the upcoming Redbook about password synchronization between z/VM and z/OS,
using
LDAP, gsykyman and BFS. I felt that the audience might be unfamiliar with SFS
and/or
BFS. Stay tuned.
