Mounting file systems

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

After installation is complete, you need to create file systems and mount them to your root file system or somewhere else in the hierarchy.

To have mount processing substitute "ZFS" or "HFS" as appropriate, you can use "///" as a placeholder in file system names. When the system encounters "///" in the name, the following happens:
  1. It first substitutes the characters "ZFS" and checks the file system. If the system determines that it is not a HFS file system, it gives the mount to zFS to process.
  2. If it is a HFS file system, then the system substitutes the characters "HFS" and checks the file system. If the system determines that it is a HFS file system, it gives the mount to HFS to process. If it is not a HFS file system, it gives the mount to zFS to process.

Tip: To verify that file systems specified in BPXPRMxx are currently mounted, use the USS_FILESYS_PARMLIB_MOUNTS check provided by IBM® Health Checker for z/OS®.
