Re: Hosting Linux partitions on IBM i

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

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....
