We've just obtained an evaluation copy of Websphere Commerce Suite and DB2
for Linux/390.  We are currently using SuSE 7.0 with the 2.2.16 kernel until
our order for SuSE 7.2 arrives.

The install manual is a bit vague about how much disk space is needed, just
saying it needs 1 volume for Linux and 1 volume for the product, but it
doesn't say how it's distributed among the various subdirectories.  It also
looks like it requires write access to /usr  (ours is r/o shared commonly)
so I'll have to create a separate /usr volume for this virtual server.

>From anyone who has installed this and has it running:    How much disk
space do I really need for

/home?
/opt?
any other subdirectory under root used heavily by these products?

And what's the minimum virtual storage I can get away with?  The manual
specifies 1GB, and that's as big as our whole VM LPAR.  We'd end up stealing
like crazy.
