We have been spoiled by an operating system that only uses what you need, rather than what you give it. So the big game with Linux is to give it just what it needs... Normally when paging space fills, you overflow into spool space. Because spool space is often small that does not help you a lot and you abend shortly after that. That message is clear. But I assume this is z/VM 5.2 and you were starting a Linux virtual machine, right? If so, then I would expect your system stalled because of PGMBK fragmentation. If you still have the performance data from that period, it would be good to look at the ESAASPC report - if possible with 1 minute granularity.
