Dirmaint Mdisk Allocation

Hello all, I have a 3390-3 allocated as all Perm (PERM 0 3338 3339). Dirmaint will not let me allocate past cylinder 1170? I have another 3390-3 also allocated as all Perm and Dirmaint won't let me allocate past cylinder 1100? Any ideas? Thanks, Mary Zervos VM Systems

Dirmaint doesn't look at all at the real disk, so how you have allocated it does not influence where Dirmaint will place minidisks. One exception: for CPOWEND volumes, DIRMAINT finds out where PAGE, SPOOL (and DRCT TDISK?) is and flags those cylinders as in use. I guess DIRMAINT uses some form
