The main downsides are: 1. You lose the ability to access the data with older versions of GRASS. 2. You're more likely to run into limits on the number of maps within a mapset. IIRC, ext2/ext3 doesn't allow a directory to have more than 32000 subdirectories, whereas there's no practical limit to the number of files. OTOH, given that raster maps invariably have a non-empty cell_misc subdirectory, this is probably a moot point. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
