Keep in mind, if you fill a volume (or your volume is not size limited and this volume fills a filesystem), you cannot reuse it without recycling the whole volume (just like a tape). If you are writing volumes larger than 4 GB, I suspect you might not be doing this. If you are and simply have terrabytes of data, you can ignore me. ;-)
