Which is true from a client perspective...  

Actually we DO have a bunch of 'metadata' like the dedupe-infos and the SnapMirror-Sync NVLOGs (plus all of the volume-infos) lying around in the aggr in an organized manner (WAFL...)

Sort of a filesystem... Just not exposed through NAS-protocols, therefore no host-mounting/mapping.
