The question was on the VM list. I may have mistaken it for a question about VM, not Linux ;-)

If he means more VM "real" (to the guest), then you're correct. But if he needs more Linux paging memory, then a VDISK, mkswap, swapon should help. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

It takes an IPl after that. You can update the directory to allow additional, but you cannot redefine the virtual storage of a running machine without causing the reset.
