A quick note on Norton's FS -- It will tell you that there is unused
slack space on the Stacker drive, but what Norton doesn't realize is
that Stacker actually re-uses this slack space during its compression.
So any figures you see on slack space are reported by unaware software.
Stacker drives have very little slack space at all.
