No, the Linux JFS implementation only supports a 4KB block size. > So the very big question is: is JFS for linux able to suballocate blocks?

You are probably better off with ext4 using a 1KB block size. Reiserfs used to boast about working very well with lots of small files. It also supports a 1KB block size. > Keep in mind that I never worked with jfs - I just read some documentation > and browsed this mailing list - so forgive me if my question is silly Not silly, but I'm not sure jfs is the best solution for you. > Tnx for any suggestion! > > > Alessio Focardi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
