I'm not too sure what you mean by "cluster sub-allocation", especially since none of the popular Linux filesystems (ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS) are cluster-based. > i ask in the context of browsing thru a samba share using windows > explorer(w2k) ... a folder that reports so-and-so disk usage is > supposedly using up 2x/3x that amount on disk! Attempting to qualify disk usage using Samba adds a possible layer of incompatibility or misreporting. Why don't you compare the results of du(1) and df(1) instead? du will report the size of the file(s), while df will report the used and available space on the filesystem. > Smells a lot like the classic cluster size problem on FAT/FAT32( y'know, > a 1k file eating up 32k) If you're interested in saving space for a filesystem with a lot of small files, you may want to consider ReiserFS. There is an initial overhead for the journal (30MB, I think), but with tail packing you reduce "wasted" space significantly. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
