With a 175G LPAR you would think he has at least 175G worth of virtual machines, so 350G of paging space... for the moment the next virtual machine went over the edge. I very much doubt he was that well prepared. With that amount of space, things might have gotten slow but there's a fair chance CP would have survived the abuse. Rob
