But recently I've decided to use it to share files between VM systems. Here is something I don't understand. I access a SFS, it shows as R/O, yet I can edit and save a file, but then can't erase it?! What am I missing that allows me to edit a file on a R/O accessed SFS? acc vmuser:ddisk. d DMSACR723I D (VMUSER:DDISK.)
