SOMETIMES no file system is the best file system.  E.g., by putting
a raw file on a partition with "dd", "cat", or ">", maybe with the
raw file being a .pax, .tgz, or other archive file.  Creative use
of "dd" options should permit multiple files per partition but I've
only ever used a single (archive) file.
