Setting aside the core of this issue (which everybody has already gone |
| 11 |
on about ad nauseum, myself included), I figured I'd point out that on |
| 12 |
most modern filesystems very small text files don't actually use |
| 13 |
blocks per-se, but instead they're stored in the inode or other |
| 14 |
metadata records. They have to be quite small to fit, but Linux |
| 15 |
systems tend to have a lot of files that don't require an actual disk |
| 16 |
block as a result and it can save quite a bit of space cumulatively. |
