Dear all,
I wonder if there is a way that would allow to address a specific LINUX
userid on an LINUX guest under z/VM by RSCS.
To my understanding it is possible to address a system and a user from

You could also let the Linux user extract other spool information of the

I'd like to mention a caveat. It's been my experience that NFS and BFS
aren't the fast thing running. It's ok for small files but for big
files, like 2 or 3 gig and above, it is painfully slow.
We looked at off loading some file backup processing from our open
systems to VM and copying the files
Agreed.
And it's not just a BFS or OpenVM thing, it is the nature of NFS: not
best for bulk transfer.
For bulk transfer, you can use FTP (pleh!) directly to/from CMS or you
can rsync or scp with a Linux guest which plays PUN/RDR with CMS land.

Thanks for the tip. What we are talking about at the current time is 100-200

If it is necessary to do any bulk transfers, we will probably use VMFTP.
