CMS is a single user operating system that is part of IBM's z/VM. Even the tiniest of z/VM installations will have a bunch of minidisks formated with this filesystem. Think of it as the VFAT of s390 (in terms of popularity). These patches are loosly based on cmsfs from 2.4.12-ac6. NOTE: I decided to send out these patches now even though they're not complete at the moment. I plan to expand this description, expand the documentation, and bunch of other things. TODO list at the moment: - file data translation (EBCDIC to ASCII) - support for RECFM=V files - better documentation - cleanup the code - ...and whatever else comes up Josef 'Jeff' Sipek. jeffpc@josefsipek.net
