My advise to make absolutely sure there is no problem to copy the data:

3) From an appropriately privileged ID (MAINT, etc):

LINK guest 150 150 *R*      (you don't need/want write access to this
volume)
LINK guest F150 F150 *W*    (you're going to overwrite this one, so write)

The "R" link prevents linking when someone else has a write link and the "W"
link prevents linking when someone else uses the minidisk.

A similar thing goes for a lot of Linux directory entries, linking the Linux
minidisks with "M" makes sure that the guest will only get the disk if there
are no write links, without getting the disk in readonly mode as normally
used for CMS disks using the "MR" linkmode.
