CL Command List > CRTUDFS Reference

Description:

The Create User-Defined File System (CRTUDFS) command creates a file system that can be made visible to the rest of the integrated file system name space through the Add Mounted File System (ADDMFS) or MOUNT command.

A UDFS is represented by the object type *BLKSF, or block special file.

Restrictions:

1. The user must have input/output (I/O) system configuration (*IOSYSCFG) special authority to use this command.

2. The audit (*AUDIT) special authority is required when specifying a value other than *SYSVAL on the Auditing value for objects (CRTOBJAUD) parameter.

3. The user must have all object (*ALLOBJ) and security administrator (*SECADM) special authorities to specify a value for the Scanning option for objects (CRTOBJSCAN) parameter other than *PARENT.

4. A maximum of approximately 4,000 user-defined file systems can be created on an independent auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
