It might be that simple, but it shouldn't be needed. Because mksles9root creates a directory struction with the subdirectory starting with s390 or s390x. If I'm in /data1, I should be able to run mksles9root s390 and it would create /data1/s390/... and I should also be able to run mksles9root s390x which would create /data1/s390x/...
A bypass would be to have a /data1/thd and a /data1/thdx (for example) and run mksles9root from each, but I shouldn't have to. Of course, this could be one of those weird Linux/Unix things that I'm not aware of... yet.

If you're trying to create it in the same place, then it will complain; If you try to do it in another place, you may have better luck. -- Robert P.

I'm using mksles9root. It makes the directories. I had the s390 versions out there. It wanted me to remove them so it could create the s390x (not the author of the code, so I don't know why). Since there didn't seem to be a command switch, I thought there might be a "change this piece of code" to do what I want. I guess the way the current mksles9root works is that you rebuild from the iso images each time you want to switch from 31 bit to 64 bit and back. That might make some sort of sense if the iso images may be refreshed by some offline or unattended process. But it still takes a while to setup.
