Need for a database filesystem

Well in database it needs to manage large amounts of data outside of the database (for loading for example, CSV files) being able to dynamically add filesystem space using the database is easy “for us database administrators”. When filesystem space outside of the database is needed we need to ask the sysadmin for X gigabytes of (non-database) space, which the sysadmin needs to ask from the SAN admin in most cases.That means it is impossible in almost any case to have a large filesystem at will
