You are probably going to have to get the media out and install enough on free DASD to have something to boot so you can get in, mount and edit. It's not going to be all that fun.

We have an old Linux environment. I am not sure how old it is; however, I know it is between 2 & 3 years at least. The system (Linux on System z - LPAR Mode) was not active and had the DASD (ECKD format) moved from one storage sub-system to another with now different UCBs. I have been asked to look into bring up this system. Is there any "easy" way to access the data to update the required configuration to now point to the correct UCB addresses? At this point, we only have z/OS LPARs running in the environment with no other Linux. I was hoping that I might be able to do something with USS; however, he does not know about the "formatted" filesystems that was built by Linux-390.
