AdvFS v4.0 BMT chains

When I used AdvFS v3, espectially on our news server, we got errors similar
to this:

ENO_MORE_BLKS

Which basically says that you need more BMT mcells (similar to inodes in
UFS) -- when you need more mcells, they are magically added in 128 page
increments, and eventually the BMT gets very fragmented and you get [very]
early 'out of space errors'.

With AdvFS v4, there are no options to set the size of the page increments,
or even the base size of the BMT. Can I assume that in v4, I can just make
a file domain and fileset and never have to worry about how many files I
expect to put put into this domain?

Since we switched our news server to v4, we haven't seen these errors
(yet) -- just wondering if they are gone for good...
