Difference is that ext3 is prepared to fall back to ext2 functionality when being read from a read-only device - which makes perfect sense, given that the journal's purpose is to protect the integrity of writes and (as Mark pointed out) it is of no value on a disk which will never again be written

The implication is that these represent the leading edge of virtualization, completely ignoring z/VM's capabilities. This happens time after time, conference after conference and webcast after webcast. It's almost like z/VM with zLinux exists in some parallel universe that is outside the

It is is not Intel, then it does not exist. How many Linux people (general population) consider Linux on the z, i, or p? Unless you came up in the z, i, or p world, those processors simply do not exist. computer is identically equal to Intel processor. Then why are you talking about Linux? You

Isn't the real problem that the VMWare vendor(s) does a LOT of advertising and marketing, and the z/VM vendor does not (other than preaching to the choir)? Graves, Aaron wrote: The implication is that these represent the leading edge of virtualization, completely ignoring z/VM's capabilities.
