<h1 class="topictitle1"> Auxiliary storage requirements</h1>
<div><p>Auxiliary storage requirements should be considered while the system
is converting the directories in a file system to the *TYPE2 format.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Here are several considerations regarding
auxiliary storage requirements:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><ul><li>The final size of the directories after they have been converted to the
*TYPE2 format</li>
<li>Additional storage required while the conversion function is running</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>In many cases, the final size of a *TYPE2 directory is smaller
than a *TYPE1 directory. Typically, *TYPE2 directories that have less than
350 objects require less auxiliary storage than *TYPE1 directories with the
same number of objects. *TYPE2 directories with more than 350 objects are
ten percent larger (on average) than *TYPE1 directories.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>While the conversion function is running, additional storage is
required. The conversion function requires that the directories have both
a *TYPE1 version and a *TYPE2 version in existence simultaneously.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Before installing the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> V5R3M0
operating system or a later release, you might want to consider running the
*ESTIMATE option on the OS/400<sup>®</sup> V5R2 (<span class="cmdname">CVTDIR</span>) command, because
it can provide a conservative estimate of the amount of auxiliary storage
needed during conversion.</div>
