Think of it like this.
You have x number of drives.
One of those drives is flagged as your load source drive.
When you load LIC on to your system it takes up a chunk of that drive.
Maybe you can think of it as a big IFS file which doesn't show up in
WRKLNK. But it has a special flag on it to say stay on the load source
drive only. And it will use contiguous space instead of being scattered
like single level storage stuff is.
So, when you upgrade from 7.1 it needs to increase the size of this chunk.
It does a special operation where it clears the disk following this chunk
up to the new size. It just moves objects in it's way to other sectors
and/or drives. Then it reserves the contiguous space needed for this
chunk.
