Hello, I'm working with developing a jail() based server for some community sites I'm involved with. While I've successfully administered jail() based servers for sometime, some new concerns have risen. My platform will remain 4.7-STABLE for some time. Basically, my major concern is filesystem flexibility, namely resizing and trying to limit the restrictions of the physical disk's capacity and layout. Let's say I have a 25gb drive, one large slice, and divided up into 3 5gb partitions, a,d and e. Now if 'd' wants 10gb of capacity, how can I best accomodate that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but growfs won't work with "middle" partitions? I've looked into using file-backed vnode (vn) drives as well. But again I'm stumped. I've tried using growfs, or trying to manually edit the file itself to increase available space but to no avail. Any thoughts on the best way to get maximum flexibility from a regular hard disk like? Any functionality I'm missing? Granted, for deploying jails all I need is a directory. However, again I'm stumped, since I see no way of limiting the space used by a particular directory/jail.
