UFS/FFS probably wont deal well with the underlying logical-physical
disk size changing (bytes/section, number of sectors, etc.). Even if it
was pure concatenation.
No, an LVM2/VxFS is needed.
Also, shops that can afford SAN and high end RAID tend to be able to
provision temp space to store
Hi,

that's what a volume manager (such as LVM2 in linux, Veritas Vol Mgr , and
vinum (I think) in FBSD 4 ) do - they abstract the hardware storage layer.
That is hardware RAID.

It depends on what you have. If you have a 5/6 RAID setup then you
