Hi,
I notice that RedHat 6.2 also makes 4k clusters on the ext2 filesystem. I would like
to know if a large block size improves the performance and, if yes, by what factor.
Also for a typical install of 700MB, how much extra space is consumed if a 4k cluster
is made instead of 1k. If I make the same no. of inodes as the default formatted file
system creates, with a 1k cluster, will performance improve.
