While I like the benefits of having multiple volumes, I have always felt the
implementation to be lacking.

The whole concept of needing to create a placeholder account/group on the
system volume set feels like a hack and can lead to needless confusion about
where data is located. Of course, I feel the same way about many of the
enhancements made to MPE 6.5+.

Which is why I still run on 6.0 I guess.

Comments are my own, not my employer's... etc.
