I see... with the way you described it, the inode size affects the system in a
way that is similar to the cluster size of a system running DOS/Win9x...
In Dos/Win9x, the smaller cluster size would contribute to more fragmented files
in the system... would this occur on a Linux system whose inode size is set to
1K if large files are stored on the disk?
thanks for the info...
