Would this be possible to convert after time of creation?  e.g. /var is
one filesystem, but then 6 months later you realize you only need /var/db
- can /var/db then be "filesystemized"?

From a user interface point of view, I'd rather people didn't have to
second-guess their file system layout just to take advantage of HAMMER
features down the road.
