        Hmm...
        All of our disk storage pools are larger than 2 GB and have large
files enabled because we do see files larger than 2GB come in from
clients...

        I'm quite sure I'm not going to want to slice up a 36Gb disk into 18
2GB filesystems just to use direct I/O. I think the drive head contention
would eat me alive.

        I'm not sure where they expect this functionality to be used when
they have those 2 limitations on direct I/O...
