Re: [freenet-support] Re: [freenet-chat] slightly off topic: fat32methods of keeping my store folder size

[Josh Steiner]

good idea, hadnt thought about just making a freenet datastore partition, what are the negative effects of using smaller cluster sizes? (there must be some, otherwise they would default to 16 :) perhaps its just addressing, if you have smaller clusters you have *more* clusters and therefore have to address more clusters... if this is all, then it should matter as i'd be having at most a partition of a gig or two for freenet...

i'm not sure i'm going to do this though since i dual boot to linux about 50% of the time i use my computer, so i was planning on setting up a node on my linux box that shares the same datastore...

so (unfortunately) i am forced to use fat32 on my windows machine where i run my freenet node... right now here is the size info:

I would recommend putting the freenet datastore on a separate
partition if possible. Partition Magic (commercial software, but well
worth the money) can do this for you without destroying your existing
files.

When formatting the new filesystem, try to give it as large a cluster
size as possible, and you will cut down on lost space. (Or format it
as NTFS, if that's an option).

no, sorry. make the clusters as SMALL as possible, so the last used cluster by a file is filled up more effectively.
the clusters that do not fill completely contain the wasted space:
cluster 256 bytes, data 64 bytes = 192 bytes wasted
custer 4096 bytes, data 64 bytes = 4032 bytes wasted
