Naming specific directories

z/OS UNIX System Services Planning
GA32-0884-00

Given the /etc/auto.master and /etc/u.map files as shown in Figure 1, whenever the directory /u/wjs is referred to by a command such as cd or cp, the automount facility mounts the OMVS.WJS.HFS data set.
Figure 1. Specific entry in a MapName file
------ /etc/auto.master  ------

/u         /etc/u.map


 ------ /etc/u.map  ---------

name               *
type               HFS
filesystem         OMVS.<uc_name>
mode               rdwr
duration           60
delay              10
/*
name               wjs
filesystem         OMVS.WJS.HFS
duration           nolimit

 
Restrictions: For generic and specific entries:
  • Do not use a / in front of the name of the directory to be mounted in a specific entry in a MapName file. For example, in /etc/u.map, the following is correct:
    name         wjs
    But the following is not correct:
    name         /wjs
  • The directory name and the data set name qualifier for the data set which is replaced by the variable <uc_name> must be the same. Otherwise you will receive such error messages as:
    DC129I No such file or directory
                   or
    EDC515I Dynamic allocation error
