Thank you for your very informative response.  I am curious, what sort of
inefficiencies do turn up when you have large numebers of pseudo devices ?

Do you have any comments on a system running, say, 100 vn-backed mounted
filesystems ?  200 ?  (presume moderate to heavy activity in each ...)

thanks!
