There has not been a lot of development on this topic lately, so let me emphasize on possible impacts. The fact that I found the issue with btrfs does not necessarily mean, that this is the only filesystem where the issue exists. Due to the nature of the filesystem, it quickly detects file corruptions. However, it is quite possible, that all filesystems are affected, just with other filesystems there might be unnoticed data corruption. Until this is clarified, the HyperPAV Feature as invented with z/VM 7.2 is not usable for me. Unfortunately, I do not have z/VM 7.2 available right now, and thus cannot do further tests on my own.
