RE: 7.3 upgrade & disk space requirement

<snip>
So that 70 GB requirement is for temp space, not permanently allocated
space?
WRKDSKSTS shows 139594 M for each unit.

No. If WRKDSKSTS shows 139594 M for each unit that means they are 140GB
units. Those should be plenty of space and you should be fine. The only
issue is if your "load source" disk is close to capacity.
Assuming that your disks are somewhat balanced what is the % Used on a
disk? Again, with 140's unless you're close to capacity you should be
fine. Keep in mind that 80% on a 140 is still 28GB free
((100-80)/100) * 140 =28GB free
28/70 would be 40% free space on a 70GB drive.
And considering the average user has their disks somewhat balanced for
capacity and is running much tighter than 40% free, you should be fine.
