I did some investigation a while back using type 92 SMF records to try to figure out why z/OSMF was doing about 90,000,000 EXCPs during startup on my system.

I found that there were many files (mostly doc.zip) where the same file was opened and closed hundreds or even thousands of times during startup.

Despite this, z/OSMF startup on my system still only took around 1 minute. I have a hypothesis that this might be because the filesystem is mounted read only - perhaps if the filesystem is read/write last access times are updated for each open/close, which means write I/Os instead of cached read I/Os.

Files are e.g.
ation/helps/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.cpomessages.help.doc/doc.zip
(name is truncated)

Is your filesystem read/write? Does it help if it is read only?

I think IBM has made some improvements since I did the investigation. Looking now z/OSMF has 29,000,000 EXCP instead of 90,000,000. I probably should repeat it and see what has changed.
