Well, the first problem here is that the Director would have to know how
much space it was going to need for BSR files.  Of course, it could
pre-allocate a fixed-size block of, say, 1MB for BSR files.

The second problem, it seems to me, is that this would break
compatibility with all older Bacula volumes and installations.
