Re: Allocation strategy - dynamic zone for small files

Your numbers show that you are wasting about 85 MB in internal 
fragmentation of files < 128 bytes.  To paraphrase an earlier query in 
this thread: what's 85 MB of disk space worth to you?  Probably not much.

There are of course lots of other filesystem applications, so there could 
be some where the wasted disk space is worth a second thought.

But I think the main interest in this sort of thing (as stated previously) 
is based on how many tiny files you _would_ have and how big your basic 
allocation unit for other files _would_  be have if you didn't have to pay 
the price.
