Robert,

Try GO HARDWARE.

You will find that the AS/400 does not really care about which volume
something is stored on.  Actually a file is allocated to the least used
drive as part of the optimizer and may have fragments on all of the
drives.  You may create an ASP (Auxiliary Storage Pool) which would
isolate a single drive or cluster a group of drives and they are treated
like a single drive.  Unless there are unusual circumstances, most
machines that I have seen have only a single ASP so all drives are
treated as a single logical drive.
