Hi Ron,

df from a recently installed p630 with AIX 5.2 looks as follows:

Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 65536 58132 12% 1051 8% /
/dev/hd2 720896 20268 98% 21144 78% /usr
/dev/hd9var 65536 59136 10% 436 4% /var
/dev/hd3 65536 65136 1% 10 1% /tmp
/dev/hd1 65536 65156 1% 9 1% /home
/proc - - - - - /proc
/dev/hd10opt 65536 57936 12% 319 3% /opt

In addition to AIX base i've installed some freeware stuff (gnu-c, samba
...) which consumes appr. 80MB in /usr.

Can someone please provide me with a breakdown of system requirements
for an AIX 5.1 and 5.2 installation.

The following is from the 5.2 Release notes.

AIX 5.1:
   RAM: 64mb
   DISK: / - 8mb
             /usr - 385mb
             /var - 4mb
             /tmp - 20mb
             /opt - 4mb
             /proc - no size mentioned here, but it does consume disk
space
             hd6 - 64mb

AIX 5.2:
   RAM: 128mb
   DISK: / - 16mb
             /usr - 720mb
             /var - 16mb
             /tmp - 24mb
             /opt - 24mb
             /proc - no size mentioned here, but it does consume disk
space
             hd6 - 512mb

Release Notes state that 2.2gb of disk space is required for an AIX 5.2
install,
but the above only adds up to 1312mb. I know that some of the remaining
space
is used by /proc (aprox. 300-400mb) and /home (2mb), but what about the
remaining 500mb? Is this excise 500mb assume to be for additional that a
user
may want to install?

Also, I could not find anywhere the total disk requirements for AIX 5.1.
Does anyone
know what this value is? AIX 5.2 is 2.2gb, AIX 5.1 is ???????

Thank you,

Ron Schwingel
