The machines named starting with "$" are only to map some system areas to
prevent overlaps (including the basic Cyl 0). These machines haven't any
other functions, except to map the directory.
DIRMAINT DIRMAP, checks the system areas and includes them on the generated
DIRMAP report.
Is very good to check these "map" allocations (DRCT, TEMP, PAGE and SPOOL)
and is very recommended to keep these definitions synchronized.

This does not determine SPOOL & PAGE space:
*
USER $PAGE$ NOLOG
MDISK A03 3390 000 END 540PAG R
*
USER $SPOOL$ NOLOG
MDISK B01 3390 000 END 540SPL R
*
What determines spool & pages space is:
1) CP OWNED volume
2) SPACE allocation map (allocated via ICKDSF).

My Level 1l PAGE and SPOOL disks have only the first volume defined in the
Directory.
*
USER $PAGE$ NOLOG
MDISK A03 3390 000 END 540PAG R
*
USER $SPOOL$ NOLOG
MDISK B01 3390 000 END 540SPL R

Yet, Q ALLOC PAGE and SPOOL recognize a second volume for each:
q alloc page
