This table shows the objects provided by the integrated file system that the Reclaim Object Links (RCLLNK) command re-creates if they do not exist. These objects are normally created during the initial program load (IPL). You can also re-create some of these objects, if necessary, using the Reclaim Storage (RCLSTG) command.
| Path name | Type | Recreated by RCLLNK | Recreated by RCLSTG ASPDEV(*SYSBASE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| /dev/zero | *CHRSF | Yes | Yes |
| /dev/null | *CHRSF | Yes | Yes |
| /dev/xti/tcp | *CHRSF | Yes | No |
| /dev/xti/udp | *CHRSF | Yes | No |
| /etc/vfs | *STMF | Yes | No |
In order for the RCLLNK command to re-create an object provided by the integrated file system that does not exist, it must be run with the SUBTREE parameter set to *DIR or *ALL while specifying the parent directory. The command must successfully reclaim the parent directory of the system object. For example,
RCLLNK OBJ('/dev') SUBTREE(*DIR)
re-creates the /dev/zero and /dev/null *CHRSF objects if they do not exist.
In order for the
RCLSTG command to re-create an integrated file system provided object that
does not exist, it must be run with the ASPDEV parameter
set to *SYSBASE and the directory recovery portion of reclaim must not be
omitted.
