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.
