Resizing an FFS would definitely :be hard but not _impossible_. What exactly did Kirk say? I was looking at ffs, and I think you could do it. I have much better things to do with my sanity, and think that a filesystem needs to have resizing as a design criteria to be able to this usefully, especially if you want to be able to do it online.
