Thanks!  thats new to me too!  In the past, I've used the loopback concept:

# make a 1G file
dd if=/dev/zero of=/bigmount/vicepa bs=1k count=1000000

# mkfs on it - ignore complaints about it being a file
mkfs /bigmount/vicepa

# set up loopback mount on it
mount /bigmount/vicepa /vicepa -oloop

the above can be added to /etc/fstab.  it works fine on linux / mac for 
testing, probably not optimal for production.  mileage may 
vary._______________________________________________
