I don't think so. Or if you are right then there are some big issues in the next few years that IBM's own products won't be able to support. As an example IBM semi announced that soon there will be dynamic storage(DASD) expansion and it will be done with volser (ex ABC001,ABC002 etc etc)

Correct. We put in a range of volumes. Example LGA 001-099. We then initialize a few of the volumes, say LGA 001-009. When these volumes get to 90% full, and allocations fail, we init volume LGA 010. Once online it probably will be used for over half the allocations until it becomes fairly
