I was just going to mention reiserfs, which I use exclusively (in |
| 12 |
data=ordered mode). I /believe/ one of the other journalled fs, either |
| 13 |
jfs or <forgot>, does something similar, using large blocks but packing |
| 14 |
files into them irrespective of size. I read that somewhere and noted it |
| 15 |
with interest, but reiserfs has been sufficient for me, particularly after |
| 16 |
it got data=ordered (and now data=journal, tho ordered is sufficient for |
| 17 |
me) support. |
