With LDL, you only get one (automagically created) partition. With z/VM that's not such a huge problem, since disks can be made any arbitrary size. In an LPAR environment, it can cause a lot of disk to be wasted if you don't plan things out. > 2) Is it true that /boot directory has to be located on a non-DIAG disk?
