If you have access to the drives from your z/VM LPAR, there is a package from Sine Nomine called E2CMD (?) that lets you manipulate EXT2 filesyste ms. The current exec (E2SH) needs the disk to be in read/write mode, but I th ink that could be fixed so that you could use the disk in read-only mode.

Is there a procedure for doing it documented somewher e, a Redbook perhaps? Any pointer to speed us on our way will be appreciated . > > >Regards, >Richard Schuh
