That was back in 1.2. It never seemed to matter then. That system is gone,
replaced by RS6000's in a different city. You're right though, I should
have put that type of thing in its own file system.

Why on earth would you have log files in the Root? You are putting your
whole USS environment at risk. One out of control user could kill the
system....

To me, the problems with HFS and ZFS files seems to be a design flaw.
When I was at P&H Mining, we had the same problem. The root file kept
growing - mostly I think because of logging activity. The files were
kept for only a week and then automatically deleted, but the HFS file
just kept getting more extents. It never made sense to me, when the
total amount of data wasn't groing..
