In an effort to control disk space usage and automating staging in using
adv_file devices (or AFTD), I've been using/testing a practice where I setup
a "disk partition" (specifically a Solaris ZFS file system)for each group
and estimate about 2.5 weeks worth of storage in sizing the partition.  It's
been working well enough, but I'm curious...

What are others doing in using "adv_file" devices?
How is containment (i.e. space utilization and growth) being maintained?

I'm just wondering if there's a better/easier/simpler way rather than
creating all these different partitions/file-systems.  I know some of you
are using rather clever and intuitive scripts for staging.  I haven't done
much in the development and testing of such scripts, but I hope to.

Your thoughts and input are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!
