True for 3.5 inch media, but that wasn't supported on the S36. As I recall, 8" DSDD (Double Sided, Double Density) was nominally what was used on the S36. Formatted capacity was just over 1MB (1.2MB, maybe)...

That would be 55,834 diskettes. That is, if memory serves me correctly that the diskette capacity is 1.44mb.

Glad we have this cleared up.
Closest thing to what you were thinking is perhaps Temporary Space. The
report will give you some details on that. It all varies as to how
important to you. Me, I can live with 1.27%. A small shop might say
"Egads! 80.4GB in temporary space!".
:-) Try and calculate that number in a S/36 to IBM i migration. Let's
see, I'd use how many 8" diskettes for that...?

I'm not saying they don't add up as shown below, they do. I think the
problem is understanding the term unused space. I thought unused space
might be an area on the system where space was waiting to be reclaimed so
it could not be used until some action is performed, such as an IPL or
rclstg. I now see it as exactly what is says - unused.
Thanks,

Unused disk space climbed from 11% of the system to 21% in 3 weeks and
that does not make much sense to me, but what do I know?
Other categories also were increasing, but I can account for them.

Roughly, with some allowance for rounding.
So, this is also true.
Various used disk space items
+ Unused space
_______________________________
Total disk space
When you noticed Unused space increasing, were the others decreasing?
I wouldn't think that an IPL should eat up some of your unused space. Some
might think it would actually increase it.
Rough night?

Hello everyone,
Is anyone familiar with the IBM Disk Tasks reports? I’m
seeing an increase in the ‘unused space’ column of the report and
wondering if this is where an IPL would help that.
Thanks, Larry
