capacity calculation with file pool and private volumes

Hi,

i need a devclass file parameter which will influence the calculation of free space in file pools. I implement file pools with private volumes only. The maxscratch parameter is null. It works very fine but the space calculation is very bad. The calculation works with dirspace and so its often wrong. It should be not to difficult to calculate the capcacity as sum of the private volumes.
