The mdisk statements are allocation placeholders. The storage isn't used
until Linux swaps to it. However CP *DOES* count the total v-disk
allocations assigned to logged on userids, and will refuse additional
vdisk requests over the system limit. The default system limit is based
on a portion of total available memory and can be overridden dynamically
or in the system config.

CP Q VDISK SYSLIM will give you the current status.
