I think you said you have /u as part of your IBM root file system. You also said you have one system at 1.13, and one at V2.?. So that indicates to separate root filesystems. if both of them have /u in it, and you try to mount the file system at both locations, it fails. you cannot mount the same file system 2 different places in the directory tree. If indeed /u is in your IBM root filesystem, then the absolute path would be something like /root1/u/whatever and the other would be /root2/u/whatever. you can verify that by doing a df -vk /u in both locations and see what you get. My suggestion was to move your home directory to a single shared /home that is based in the highest level of sysplex root, not z/OS root. If I have misunderstood your situation, please feel free to take this offline with me if you wish. david.jou...@53.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
