I've seen strange CPU spikes related to the huge number of devices visible in LPAR mode. You may want to test booting with the cio_ignore= parameter, to limit to only the devices you need. For more info, see: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/linux390/docu/l26cdd04.pdf (p. 4

I am running Slack/390 10.1, and I am trying to schedule a cron job to run with root authority. Nothing I put in the root crontab seems to be firing. This is the first cron task that I have attempted to set up as root. Is there more that needs to be done than just add the entry in crontab to set up

I'm seeing positive things with Aperi (www.aperi.org) and there seems to be a good consensus developing with the storage vendors on integrating filesystem management into the sto

I'm a LINUX newbie but an AIX oldie: This may be off topic but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good sysadmin tool like AIX's SMIT for LINUX RHEL? The tools out there for LINUX don't seem to address logical volume management (LVM) the way SMIT does. Thank you,   Bob Molerio may the 'Z' be

I would suggest that you have a very small zVM emergency system to IPL to allow you to fix the main system. I had a 2 volume system just for that purpose. Lea Stahr Senior Systems Engineer Linux and zLinux Navistar, Inc. 630-753-5445 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message-
