Since you have to configure the drives in the system volume set(SVS) with the device
class of SPOOL to have spool files on each of them, you can only use the SVS drives.
SPOOL can't be configured on any user volume set drives. If you don't specify SPOOL
on any drives in the SVS, all drives will be used. I recommend not putting SPOOL on
Ldev 1, if you have several drives in the SVS, for performance reasons.
