I don't think so. My guess is that partitioning/slicing disks is a pain for most of the users. How does one tell how big a filesystem should be, even or especially on the desktop? I found myself having to cope with full filesystems several times. Using ZFS even on one disk just to get rid of fixed partition/slice boundaries is a good thing. Christian
