This tidbit is one of the things I list as "missing" in my Linux/390 presentations. I think read-only access to an ext2/ext3/reiserfs file system from z/OS and z/VM would be a Good Thing[tm].

There is a fair amount of data collection I could do using our Apache/PHP webservers. Then instead of another FTP type process to move the data to OS/390 for inclusion in larger databases, the database update process could read the data directly from the Linux DASD. /Thomas Kern /301-903-2211 > -----Original Message----- > From: McKown, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 09:14 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Possible enhancement idea for dasdfmt > > (snipped...) > > So, I guess it is no longer needed by me.
