Re: Guest Partition Storage Configuration

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason is to provide IBM i with arms to manage.  Creating one 
storage space would be the same as giving an IBM i instance only one 
disk drive.  Bad plan from an I/O performance stand point.  The 
architecture just works better when it's allowed to do what it is 
designed to do.
