exactly what I thought....set a vmsecure limit on virtual machine size.

> But does anyone else think it might be a good idea for CP to check available page space before allowing a (really big) virtual machine to be logged on? Just a thought - maybe a SIZEMAP tool would be helpful - to head that situation off.

I'm in the habit of doing:
1) x user direct
2) diskmap user => if any changes to a minidisk
3) directxa user

Maybe one more step would be prudent:
1) x user direct
2) diskmap user => if any changes to a minidisk
3) sizemap user => if any changes to virtual machines
4) directxa user

SIZEMAP would just create a report summarizing min/max machine sizes, or maybe it could be merged with DISKMAP.

Again, just a thought, perhaps a bit simplistic...
