Spoiled indeed! 8^) AIX's smit tool FS manipulation is unique to my
knowledge. There was some talk about being able to manipulate filesystems
in said manner. I may be mistaken, but it is a goal for the 2.3 kernel.
(Many months, probably at least a year away.) In the mean time, Partition
Magic 4.0 (for Intel only) is pretty much the only way to split, combine,
and otherwise mangle filesystems.
