Yes. Unfortunately the old disks didn't support being reformatted (it
actually has to do with the VPD of the disk, not the capability of being
formatted). If you have too much disk capacity on IBM i disks you can
always use IBM i to host disk for your LPARs....

We recently added and an AIX partition to our 740.

We were advised that you can't use IBM I formatted drives (520 byte
sector) and we had to buy IX formatted drives (512 byte sector(.

Would this requirement also apply to Linux?

Thx,

Jerry
