APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
calls to pathconf() doesn't close the fd. That makes for example nmon, that is using pathconf to keep the hdisks opened as long as it is running. Thus that disk is busy while it should not.
Local fix
If the hdisk is busy, fuser will show the pid that keeps it open, in this case nmon. Closing nmon, will allow that disk to be removed or modified.
Problem summary
pathconf() subroutine leaving fd of disk open may cause other disk related command to not work correctly.
Problem conclusion
pathconf() subroutine code has been change to close the disk fd after using it.
Temporary fix
