One of the main problems I have seen with CKD volumes for Linux running
under z/VM is that the LINUX FICON drivers cannot request sequential pre
fetch. If there is a skip-sequential type of activity occurring it will tend
to defeat the sequential detection algorithms in the storage.

Hi Sam, Dennis,
Unfortunately simply issuing an IXGOFFLD, from the S IXGOFLDS proc or
another program, may not cause logger to deallocate the current offload data
set. Logger keeps the current offload data set allocated until it switches
to a new one (because it fills, or there is an io error).
Nick,
You're right on that. After Sam mentioned CA-SYSVIEW I went to check
the usage on the logstream and it is under 10% so it'll probably be a
loong time before I can fill the dataset. Stopping RRS is not an option
in my shop.
