Hey! How do you know what's in my /dev/zero?

// Better to just use vacfs -m if you want to view vac,

To the extent that I just (or primarialy) want to see vac
dumps, sure. The idea was having a single location for
the variety of image types. Also, doing so with NFS
allows me to do it on a wide variety of Unix hosts with
no modifications or even installed software.

Of course, having played with it for a few days now,
I'll likely just end up doing vac dumps anyway. -a just
makes it that much more compelling.
