Mace is right. Use EXT3 for most things. Use EXT2 for things which will ever be shared. (RO) I also like to use EXT2 for things which don't (or shouldn't) change much, if only because they MIGHT get shared or mounted RO at some later time. The journalling on EXT3 is annoying when you try to go RO. It still wants to replay.
Last time I tried (which was recent and was with a very current Linux), I had to use "LDL" for DIAG to work. LDL is an older layout where the CKD disk is blocked uniformly. I see no reason why "CDL" will ever work with DIAG. (And part of me hopes it never does. I have an affinity for uniformity and interoperability.) But the IBMers who own that code would have to speak about that future. Near term, DIAG requires LDL. -- R; <>< On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 10:34, Macioce, Larry <larry.maci...@com.state.oh.us> wrote: > I'd say in the order ext3,ext 2, and I wouldn't even consider reiserfs > Mace > > > -----Original Message----- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On > Behalf Of Davis, Larry (National VM/VSE Capability) > Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 10:29 AM > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Subject: Linux File system under VM > > First I am installing SLES 10 SP 2 Linux on z/VM 5.4 > > When Setting up CKD DASD for Linux on z/VM it asks about using DIAG on > the Activated DASD. > Was this the Older method for accessing CKD DASD? > What is the best Linux File system to use under z/VM.
