Is possible to avoid the use of theese files?

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