may I just throw in: fsck duration upon boot after unclean unmount. 

A good philosophy: as little as possible (fsck duration), as much as
necessary (user/service reqirement). 

Needed: have lots of free=unused space for moving the content of
slices around and thus enable growing slices, when needed. 

On really large disks, the maximum of 14 slices (a, d-p) becomes a
limitation. I am bypassing this limitation by means of
softraid(4)/bioctl(8): see CRYPTO and CONCAT (-current only). Gives you
lots of devices (sd0, sd1, sdN) to have slices on. 

Having lots of slices makes df(1) a precious system overview, apart from
anything else :-)

bye, Marcus
