Stan,
 
 We tried a separate system volume (class) once - called it "sysdisc".  If
I remember right, the spooler allocated all its space to "sysdisc" and we ran
out of spooler space (this was before NMspooler).  We ran into so many
incompatible situations with system and user software (like trying to do user
logging to sysdisc) that we gave up fighting the battles with software and
made all volumes "DISC" once again.
 
 I think I need a lesson about differences between defining a device class
.vs. defining volume sets.  Can you explain the differences?  I'm just
wondering how this advice will cause many large "system" allocations to barf
(dumps?)
