140GB didn't leave room for work, and make sure you have lots more expanded.

I have been unable to come up with the magic search argument to get
this=
list to spit out the answer to the question, "What is the
total GB of
virtual storage, the sum of the VM sizes, can z/VM 5.2
handle without
running into the dreaded 2GB line constraint?", so I will
ask the list.
What is it?

The answer is, of course, the trademarked "it depends".
There are severa=

different forms of the constraint, and all are dependent on
workload. Ev=

something as apparently unrelated as how dense or sparse the

sure if we even have typical or average numbers, but I can
ask around. =
