Re: Erasing DASD-decommission an AS400/iSeries/System i

   Actually a valid question. I cannot state with absolute certainty but I do
   know that while deleteing an old 310 that had over 4000 (yes 4K) of user
   profiles the thing dropped 5% disk usage as I recall just from that 2 hour
   effort.  Objects being objects, it seems that deleting anything frees up
   that disk. Exceptions made for LIC and things like that I suppose.

     I don't know enough to say whether a deleted user profile actually makes
     that disk space available for your file to expand and overwrite. Same
     for
     other objects other than what we think of as files & programs.
     Do you know? (not trying to be cute about this..)
