Not really. :) > 10s of harmless unit files (text), each less than one fs block? > Setting aside the core of this issue (which everybody has already gone on about ad nauseum, myself included), I figured I'd point out that on most modern filesystems very small text files don't actually use blocks per-se, but instead they're stored in the inode or other metadata records. They have to be quite small to fit, but Linux systems tend to have a lot of files that don't require an actual disk block as a result and it can save quite a bit of space cumulatively. -- Rich
