Re: Distribute IBM i on available disk units Was: 70GB load source and 5 other drives

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So here's a funny one. I just decided to try it on a fully virtual 
partition. I selected "NO" to distribute O/S on available disk units.

IBM i says: "Distribute OS/400 required when new disk units added."

So not only does it default to yes, it forces it.

Oh and Yes it says "OS/400" :-)
