:Question: Is there a minimum recommended size of a PFS, or could you
:create one per user? While it is not a complete replacement for quota it
:would at least solve some of the same problems.

     You can't specify a size limitation for PFS yet so its kinda a moot
     point.  Hell, it may be a moot point for anyone with a large hard
     drive anyway.

     PFSs have their own inode spaces, the best use for them is to create
     mirroring domains.  Mirroring domains typically run along the same lines
     that we partition drives on today.  e.g. /usr, /var, /home, etc.

     Ultimately the only limitations for a PFS is the fact that you can only
     have 65535 of them, plus NFS exports cannot cross PFS boundaries.
