While it's true that CP no longer pages out any parts of the nucleus 
itself, there are CP owned pageable structures that may be paged out 
on the target volume.  The bulk of these are pageable PGMBKs (normal 
user private space PGMBKs, containing the page tables that represent 
user storage), but there are some other pageable structures that are 
not tied to users, so even if all users were logged off, there's no 
guarantee that paging use on the drained volume would drop to zero.
