In order to support -fstype the find program has to know how to map device numbers (in struct stat) to filesytem type names. Findutils uses a function from the gnulib library to achieve this. The source for the message you are seeing is the file m4/ls-mntd-fs.m4 within gnulib (I'm copying the gnulib mailing list on this email). So it seems that gnulib doesn't know yet how to read the list of mounted filesystems on z/OS. Making that enhancement to gnulib shoud fix this problem for findutils (and also any other users of the same code, including no doubt coreutils). As for how to proceed, I would suggest that you go find out how to read the list of mounted fileststems on z/OS and try to deduce how the m4/ls-mntd-fs.m4 file might need to be changed. > configure: error: could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems > > Thanks, Boris
