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