w/r to formatting, a file cannot occupy less than one block of space on a disk if you (or the device) have formatted a large minimum data block size, then a very small file will occupy its minimum block or rounded up to the nearest block's worth assuming that large files are being used - formatting for large blocks sizes results in faster disk reads eg. - my 6gig swafile partition for PS is formatted for a min 8mb block - a 1k file on that partition should occupy 8mb of disk space. I dont store small files on that partition and want raw speed - - PS swaps large chunks of swap data so I dont care about it being space efficient for 8mb and smaller files philip =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
