That would certainly prevent any page allocation on paging volumes. Just be aware that if you do need to depopulate the spool volumes that paging overflowed to, you'll have the same problem - the existing techniques for moving spool (SPXTAPE and such) won't work on paging overflowed to spool. Paging on spool space is still paging. But I should mention that the DRAIN statement in the config file can be used to similar effect, on a per volume and per allocation type basis, Wouldn't that be easier? - Bill Bill Holder, Senior Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development, Memory Management, Endicott, NY Phone: 607-429-3640 IBM TieLine: 620-3640 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
