An interesting alternative to this is to mount by label, here is an example of fstab lines:
LABEL=root / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=usr /usr ext3 defaults 0 0 Before you can mount by label, you need to put the label on the file system e.g. like this: tune2fs -L root /dev/dasda1 The advantage is that it is resistant to minidisk virtual address changes and volume group name changes if the volume with the fs is on LVM.

DIRMAINT will use available space from the various DASD volumes you've told it to manage. That means the cloning does involve actual copying, and not some sort of thin provisioning.
