and all these dirs had been created during install mdk 8.2. So I assumed, that this size may have the reason laying around the ext3-filesystem. the other reason is, I have one big hd which is planned for saving computeranimations and videos, which have to be cutted and mixed. and here I have to use as big as possible blocksizes. also I have thought, that if it is possible to create dirs during an install-procedure with blocksizes of 2048, 4096 and more, it should be possible to do that also "by hand" - isn't it ? thanks once more bye hans > The directory size shows you the number of blocks per inode on the > filesystem.
