Hi JR, Currently namespace is used for holding global view of whole volume. The only criteria of namespace would be requirement of inodes. if your namespace can provide enough inode count for all your data, that should be sufficient. (I use reiserfs for namespace, it handles small files (here 0byte) well, and fast, and namespace data is not at all critical as its just used as persistent cache).
