[.. .stuff about CSE ...] Does that actually work if the disk is online to both systems at the same time? I have visions of Linux not appreciating that the data on its ro volume is actually dynamic. The point of CSE is to allow a VM userid to log in on any system that is part of the CSE

Dave, How good of an idea is it to mount a filesystem R/O on a second Linux/390 image? I would worry about problems due to Linux's aggressive use of filesystem cache. Also, does CSE take care of the VM mini-disk caching problem that I read about here? Thanks, Folks, I apologize for not be
