Remember that the basis of these drive selections came from real hardware as Jim mentioned some posts back. The 70G minimum came with i 7.2 because there was no possible way to install i 7.2 onto a 35GB Drive. This was because there was no hardware supported at i 7.2 that allowed SCSI drives and there are no 35GB SAS Drives. (Ask Jim Buck! :-) ) So they said: "70GB Min." Then guys like Pete and I pummeled them because on our virtual partitions for iDevCloud we suddenly had to have a load source as big as an entire partition! And then it's just one drive. So they allowed 35GB with TR1.

I believe your second scenario is correct. When I load a new partition with four drives for iDevCloud I see that 35GB Drive around 40% full with the remaining drives starting to fill with QSYS, QGPL, QUSRSYS.

I'm really not sure why they freak out about the 35GB drives.

All my lpars are running 7.3.
When I run PRTDSKINF *SYS I will see

% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
Licensed Internal Code .22 8047.83

That's only 8GB.

But maybe they start adding other stuff to that.

And, at 15.5 GB I can easily see why the 17GB drives had to go.

But maybe they throw on more...
Licensed Internal Code .22 8047.83
System internal objects .21 7575.43
QSYS .15 5401.97
That's 21GB.

I'm willing to bet big that this next item is scattered all over numerous
drives though
Other IBM libraries .69 25344.10

System/36 had a catalog function which would tell you such things.
