What would be useful is to be able to mount a (multi-level) dataset
prefix at any mount point in the filesystem. Attributes i.e. text,
record mode etc would be specified on the mount.
This would be very useful for use with e.g. git.
I would like to be able to do the following:
mount -t dsfs -o txt ANDREW.PROJECTA /home/andrew/projecta/datasets
and setup the following structure:
/home/andrew/projecta/
/home/andrew/projecta/.git
/home/andrew/projecta/datasets/
/home/andrew/projecta/datasets/ispplib/
/home/andrew/projecta/otherstuff/
...
etc.
Also to be able to mount at least a specific PDS so you could use
multiple mounts to set up:
./.git
./sys1/parmib
./sys1/proclib
and use that to track changes to system libraries.
You should be able to specify that mounts are read only.
Mounting an individual sequential dataset would also be useful, but I'm
not sure what that should look like... I suppose the mount point
directory could be replaced by something that looks like a file.
The ability to mount unix filesystems in the DSFS would also be useful
(I'm not sure if this is currently possible).
