Yes, I am familiar with this way of solving the problem, its just that I
would like to try to avoid having all those partitions mounted (even if
they are just vn-partitions) because then it is very hard to increase or
decrease those quota sizes - you have to dump, dd a bigger file,
re-vnconfig, then restore ... very time consuming.
