until you have to split it across two disks because one is full.

and don't forget, a single monolithic storage file gets backed up fully 
every time you change it. The guy in charge of buying tapes to back up 
your system just screamed in agony, since there's no possibility of an 
incremental backup for what is 99.9999999% static data.
