hello Walden,

You are almost correct.  The system attempts to allocate an amount of storage 
during IPL to ensure it should 
be able to IPL in the event of a disk-full failure.  It may not always work 
however, especially if you just 
IPL the machine after a failure and don't get rid of some junk (customer data, 
hee hee).  If you are ever in 
this situation, don't let the users signon after the IPL until you make some 
space and make that task your 
first priority.

If you fail to make space and continue to use the system you will have to 
reinstall to recover.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
