:Well, internal hard disks under 100G are getting hard to find, so I doubt :this is going to be a huge issue. It should be documented. : :There's also the possibility that things could be mounted under /, instead :of multiple partitions.
Yah. I think what we are moving towards is more of a one or two-filesystem model (I think having a separate root is still important), but to make it totally practical we need to be able to set overall space limits on a per-PFS basis. (PFS == HAMMER's pseudo filesystems). This won't happen in the first release but it certainly isn't hard to accomplish. The advantage of it is that limits applied to PFSs are soft and could be adjusted up or down at any time. And since we support 65536 PFSs per HAMMER filesystem the whole mechanism could be used to soft-partition a huge filesystem for use by different machines / departments / users / whatever. No, no quotas for HAMMER yet :-) I just don't think that stuff belongs in the filesystem. We need a generic quota and MAC layer in the kernel proper. The MAC layer implemented in FreeBSD is horrible, I think we could do a lot better particularly with PFS to rough-cut the security domains. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
