Re: WRKDSKSTS and finding true disk space usage

we would be remiss to mention the new UDTF for showing you disk drives.
From the built in examples:

-- category: IBM i Services
-- description: Storage - Review status of all storage H/W
--
-- Query information for all DISKs, order by percentage used
--
SELECT Percent_Used
,CASE
WHEN Unit_Type = 1
THEN 'SSD'
ELSE 'DISK'
END AS Storage_Type
,A.*
FROM Qsys2.Sysdiskstat A
ORDER BY Percent_Used DESC;

Does anyone know why WRKDSKSTS shows total ASP size as 1395GB when it should really be around 1268?

We have 11 x 127GB drives in RAID 5 which should equal about 1268. We also have one hot spare, bringing it to 1395.

Why would WRKDSKSTS show the hotspare as usable drive space??

Additionally, the percentage ASP used is off as well because of this.

Lastly, does the system incorrectly calculate total used disk space because of the recursive sym link in QOpenSYs that links back upon itself up to a depth of 10 times (therefore inflating QOpenSys consumed space by 10x)?

Thanks!
