Is there any way to have VM:Secure move the minidisks of a held user to a different volume without first reactivating the user? Regards, Richard Schuh

Brian, I suggest you don't define another 2gb Linux guest else VM might run out of page slots and then crash. Ignoring performance issues, your 2 mod3's of 4.6gb of pages + 8gb C + 0.5gb X = 13.1gb and another 2gb Linux guest (14gb of Linux pages) will force CP to page the excess to your spool
