That's the way it works... That information is correct. The only way
you can get a better balance is to do a complete reload which you are
proably not wanting to do. There is a newer command on disk balance
but that may only work on very recent releases. The system will attempt
to keep ALL of OS/400 on the first drive if at all possible.
