You could use Q FILEPOOL CONFLICT to see wait conditions SFS guarantees read integrity, that is, if someone has a file in read, SFS keeps that image of the file until the last reader closes it (this image is kept in shadow tables). And -just tested- you can indeed ERASE the file while someone

Ahhh... it all becomes a little bit clearer now. Issued from a REXX-language exec: address command 'CP SMSG OPERATOR Please ignore this mixed case message.' Note that we are running CA's VM:Operator on the userid OPERATOR. VM:Operator is set here to accept the CP SMSG data.

We have our CF1 and CF2 (and CF3 now that it exists) defined as RR in the VM directory. This means no messages complaining about the disks at IPL. When MAINT needs to update CF1, after doing a CPREL A, we issue CP LINK * CF1 CF1 W and access it. On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 7:59 AM, David Boyes

Me too. :-) CF1, CF2 and CF3 come off the (virtual) tape in z/VM 5.4 with them defined to MAINT as RR, so I didn't have to do anything. Our starter USER DIRECT for z/VM 5.4 (on MAINT 2CC disk) has them set up that way. I also don't recall having to make them that way in 5.3 or 4.4. They are RR
