well, I know it's not elegant, but... as for expanding.... Take this example: 1. setup joe with default 10M 2. months go by, joe needs more space (20M) 3. accounting aproves 4. create a /loops/tmp of 10M 5. umount /loops/joe 6. cat /loops/tmp >> /loops/joe && rm /loops/tmp that would increase /loops/joe to 20M, right?
