The most weird setup I ever used was OS/400 - later i5

It had many different file systems - an IBM one with  libraries and disk 
pools, with db2 as the filesystem, a root (Unix like) filesystem and a 
few more I never used.

What really upset me was some early *nixs that hid the drive devices, 
but wouldn't let you rename (mv) files from one device to another. 
Useful unless you knew what was on which drive!
