George, & list:

AdvFS lets you set up the FS pretty much independent of hard drive geometry or
the drives themselves. Kind of like LVM but there's more.  You can do a lot of
your FS maintenance "on the fly" while the system is up and running.  A user
partition needs more space? You can reassign without even logging the user
off. And of course everything is journalled.  That's just to start.  There's
nothing else like it in Linux. IMHO.
