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. -- Bryan Henderson IBM Almaden Research Center San Jose CA Filesystems - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
