True, however the change required would be to the code running in the IBM i guest, not that of the host. That code would need to be able to deal with a somgle verylarge volume. That would be the same code used for ALL IBM i partitions because it is the underlying I/O routines that support everything IBM i does.

In my mind it would make even less sense to attempt to modify the I/O code for guest LPARs only because now there are two sets of code to maintain.

I disagree. It is not 'A Bug' it is a design point that has been in there since 1988 and most likely from the S/38 before that.

In 1988, OS/400 didn't support LPARs at all. I was solely talking about virtual disks in *OPSYS LPARs within IBM i as hypervisor. Just to be clear.
