This is a pretty good case for ZFS. zfs volumes sharing a zpool can be quota'd so that they each have allocations; setting the total quota to less than the zpool capacity (80% would be a good percentage) means that there should be lots of time between the event daemon telling you that a filesystem is running out of room and you having to do anything significant about it. Bonuses: snapshots, compression, and better-than-rsync backups. All of Greg's concerns are valid. -dsr-
