We have a need to be able to access files on a Linux system from CMS in a
different LPAR. Never having done this, the specifics of how to do it are a
mystery waiting to be solved. What are the steps that need be done in order to
accomplish this? Is there a procedure for doing it documented
If you have access to the drives from your z/VM LPAR, there is a package
from Sine Nomine called E2CMD (?) that lets you manipulate EXT2 filesyste
ms.
The current exec (E2SH) needs the disk to be in read/write mode, but I th
ink
that could be fixed so that you could use the disk in read-only mode.
Hi, Richard.
I believe the approach I would take would be to start an NFS server on
the Linux side and use CMS's NFS client to access the Linux
files.both read and write access are supported.
Does that meet your needs?

Let me second what Dave Jones said: try the CMS NFS client. If you're
using CMS to manage Linux guests, it's a really handy tool. For
example, consider that Linux is running NFS to share a directory
called /export/stuff. You could:
openvm mount /../VMBFS:VMSYS:ROOT/ /
openvm
