I don't think Linux does, though some filesystems might:

->uname -a
Linux tapycer 2.4.5 #2 SMP Mon Jun 18 16:09:41 MST 2001 i686 unknown
->df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/pool/pool0 366529628 1318912 365210716 0% /mnt/san1
/dev/pool/pool1 96442588 7028276 89414312 7% /mnt/san2
/dev/pool/pool2 145972564 21280320 124692244 15% /mnt/san3

These are all GFS filesystems (www.sistina.com) located on a SAN.
