 * Not really.  There is life in operating systems (Unix in particular -
 * FreeBSd included) beyond filesystems.  Raw devices are being used, heavily
 * for many things, including most commercial RDBMS.
 * 
 * Also, filesystems are on the horizon (AFA FreeBSD is concerned) that can
 * grow and for these one needs a storage medium that can grow.
 * 
 * I do not find extendible storage all that useful, but i do not routinely
 * maintain large servers that run out of space in the middle of everything
 * either.

Of course, that's a right answer.  If you said that as a disclaimer to 
your initial reply, I wouldn't have complained. ;)
