By that logic, you should talk to her in person and not relay your voice

zvols are far more flexible than partitions and have the added benefit
of COW (cheap snapshots and clones anyone?) and checksums
underneath. Instantly getting more space in your zpool by cutting
down unneeded swap would be quite nice.
