Yes, this is in an LPAR. Management won't pay for z/VM until proof of concept and a use case are developed for virtualized Linux servers. I will be devoting more time to that after the first of the year, I hope. For now I just want to make sure I don't lose work I have already done.

Not "normal", but permitted if the original creator so chose. Is this a LPAR installation? That would be more common there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
