As I know, jfs place very small files directly into directory. reiserfs places file tails in single B+ tree with directory entries and inodes. ext2 split disk to cylinder group. but I'm not sure how it searches empty space. "same" does not mean allocation groups like xfs, but spreading files over the disk. Flash file systems like jffs spread files specially... It is hardly to place files together I think... PS. I just confused with wiki description & pacman-optimize code and already update wikipage. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
