Where would you suggest doing this? in
java.io.tmpdir? This might give us a reasonable
default for the execution box, but if granularity is
truly per filesystem, it kind of leaves us in a
position from which I can't see any attractive
options. I don't think we should be touching files
all over every accessible filesystem just to determine
granularity per file, though I don't really think
that's what you were proposing. Again, CHKNTFS can
tell you per local root on NT/2K/XP whether you're
dealing with an NTFS volume, but as most people
probably don't have more than a couple that of dubious
value as well...
