All the more important to think about FS requirements *before*
newfs-ing if a quick "one day for rsync/star/dump+restore" isn't
available. If you're hitting, for instance, the hash collision problem
in reiser3, you're as dead as with a FS without inodes.

I'm trying to shift my focus away from computer administration and
better file systems than old-style non-journalling, non-softupdates UFS
are available today and more will follow.
