To be honest, I'm not sure... <musing> I guess it would, though I don't 
see it on the heavily-cached arrays... I could do some tests with 
artifical apps.

You can loose up to 64M of filesystem (depending on the size).

I bow to anyone with more experience - I used it a lot on vxfs, but that 
was with dedicated log spaces.  The stuff in Sol 8 seems good, and it's 
nice not to have to fsck a 500G FS...
