Also because.... IIRC block size is by default 4096bytes. With this value, 10^8 files will need _at_least_ some 400Gb, without counting superblock(s), reserved blocks, directories and so on... It seem to me that this is a h..l of a disk, and overall an h..l of a partition... I wouldn't like to have to wait for fdisk to scan it after a power failure... :)) Moreover, you'll also need 10^8 i-nodes.... I can't remember, but it seems to me that there will not be so many i-nodes, even with a 400Gb HD (by the way, there exist such huge disks for PCs?). -- Leo TheHobbit IRCnet #leiene ICQ 56656060 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GED/CS d? s-:+>-: a C+++ U+++ L++(+++)>++++ P+++>+++++ E+(++) W++ N+ K? o? !w O?
