max NSD size for a given storage pool is possible (it may be tied to the
per-pool allocation mapping?), so if you want to add more dataOnly NSD's
to a filesystem and get that error you may need to create a new pool.</font><br><br><font size=3>The tricky bit is that I think this only works with dataOnly
NSD's, as dataAndMetadata and metadataOnly NSD's only get added to the
system pool which is locked in like any other.</font><br><br><font size=3>-Jordan</font><br><br><font size=3>On Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 10:28 AM, Uwe Falke <</font><a href="mailto:UWEFALKE@de.ibm.com" target="_blank"><font size=3 color=blue><u>UWEFALKE@de.ibm.com</u></font></a><font size=3>>
