not real numbers, but a very convincing experience: some yoears ago, when I was a slackware user, I had a 10gig harddisk, that was pretty full - mostly small to medium sized files. I switched from ext2 to reiserfs and freed 2gb. Yep, that is true. Instead of 9gb with ext2, my installation only needed 7gb with reiserfs. Since that time, I am a reiserfs-only user. Harddisks are big - but never big enough. Although they get cheaper per megabyte, but they grow so fast, that they are almost always a little bit too expensive to just buy another one ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
