Too bad. I'm sure there are _many_ good reasons for this, but it seems
somewhat counterintuitive to have to carve up the space. C'est-la-vie.

PS. Yes, it's funny to be calling 70Gig drives "small." What a world!

Yes, you have to use multiple "small" drives.  Any external 
storage device must emulate the valid physical device sizes.  
With V5R2, valid sizes are 8.5, 17.5, 35.12, 36, and 70 GB.
