DIRMAP has a table of known disksizes (and one can define extra in a control file). DIRMAP guesses the size of a pack by looking at the last cylinder being used. For example: the last minidisk ends on cyl 400 --> DIRMAP thinks it is a model 1, 1113 cylinders and will report 401-1112 as gap I'll send you the document I wrote to tell my former customer how I set up our directory (with a FULLPACK user for example).
