Re: Listing of current ROOT with Mount Points

Absolutely correct.

Lizette



I was wondering if any cleaver sysprog out there wrote a
process that would extract the current ROOT and its mount
points. Then compare those mountpoint to the new ROOT that
would go in with the IPL and flag any differences?

I am still to new at USS to see how to do this with REXX on z/OS.

This would need to work against HFS and zFS files. Yes - I
know that UNIX is UNIX, however, I want to make sure I am
specific enough.

I am currently working on my z/OS V1.7 to V1.9 upgrade. And
it seems we sometimes have others add mount points and not
update our documentation.

I am just looking for an easy way to see what is changing
between the two.

For example. I am adding SIGYROOT to my new ROOT. It
currently does not exist in my z/OS V1.7 Root.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm not sure what you want, so I'll try to rephrase. You want a listing
of filesystems mounted, but only if they are mounted in the ROOT
filesystem. If they are mounted on a filesystem which is not ROOT, then
you don't want it listed.

As an example, suppose I have the following output from a "df" command:

/
/SYSTEM/dev
/SYSTEM/etc
/SYSTEM/tmp
/SYSTEM/var
/usr/local
/usr/local/products/opentech
/usr/local/src

You would want only the mountpoints:

/
/SYSTEM/dev
/SYSTEM/etc
/SYSTEM/tmp
/SYSTEM/var
/usr/local

and not the mount points:

/usr/local/products/opentech
/usr/local/src

Correct?
