The one thing that comes immediately to mind is scale. Usually, a
DragonFly system has less than 10 PFSs. (What's the plural of PFS?)
/home, /var, /usr, etc. Having a per-user PFS setup seems appealing
because then you can set up snapshot and mirroring properties on a
per-user basis.
However, what happens where there's 200 users on a machine? It would be
very frustrating to keep track of the settings of each user and to
implement changes on each, especially if some users get different settings
than others. I think the user->PFS idea is good; it just may require a
different set of tools.
