while not technically what you asked for, keeping the tree on a |
| 12 |
partition with a smaller than default block and inode size would allow |
| 13 |
you to decrease wasted space significantly, ext3 does 1024 in linux |
| 14 |
iirc, docs suggest 512 should be possible, but i have not found a fs on |
| 15 |
linux that did indeed allow actual use of 512byte blocks/inodes (yes you |
| 16 |
want to make sure to adjust both, not just one) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
hope this helps while people consider integrating them elsewhere to safe |
| 19 |
the most space possible |
