Almost true; The virtual load source disk is not checked by the system
for the size, but it does have to be big enough to hold the LIC and OS.
I have created many partitions with six or eight 10GB drives without any
issue at all (all hosted by VIOS) but I doubt an IBM i hosted LPAR would
act differently.

I am hearing that load source sizes do not apply when using virtual disks.
For example, if PartitionA hosts PartitionB then I could have twenty 20GB
drives on PartitionB, for example, and not be concerned about the 35GB
load source minimum.
If someone from IBM wants to know who I've heard this from I'll be happy
to reply offlist. Just double checking.
