Solaris never really liked more than 8 physical partitions on a disk;
this AIX mechanism looks like something you'd do when disks are huge
and few and far between.  And not when the basic unit of storage is a 
single disk, which is more like tthe situation we have today.

There isn't.

ZFS makes this discussion moot in the sense that the data from multiple
filesystems will be spread throughout the storage pool.


As Solaris doesn't fragment physical disks in this way, there's no
fragmentation as a result of it.
