If you have health checker running and sdsf then use the SDSF HC command and look at the USS_PARMLIB display which should let you know of changes (add/change/remove) to mounted filesystems. I learned this from Steven Perva over on the System Z Enthusiasts discord 😊 Lionel B. Dyck <>< Github:

And ISPF 3.17 also has an option to show all mounted filesystems by either mount point or file system name. There are also some zfs tools that can show you what is mounted, including usage info. But nothing that will compare the currently mounted filesystems with what's defined in the PARMLIB BPXPR

What do you mean by "code modified to solve the RUCSA problem"? IIRC, RUCSA was introduced with z/OS 2.4, in 2020. It is difficult to imagine a presentation in 2005 or 2012 that would have talked about it. -- Tom Marchant On Sat, 25 May 2024 13:18:55 -0500, Stefan Lezzi wrote: >Hi again, >
