" Most Linux filesystems can be expanded, so a lot of them do it.

" That's an interesting question: could I create 1GB or so NetBSD server  
" images, and expand FFS after the fact.

not as fast as dd but much more flexible --

how about a dump-fmt sys img?  partition your disk and lay out your fs
the way you want, make enough of a dir skel to mount them all [and
mount them], and restore away...  at least on solaris, it dtrt.

i'm assuming the sys img would be made on a single-partition system,
not a practical working layout but good for making images.
