Another dumb question: Assume that I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.8 on an x86, straight out of the box. Now assume that I create, on disk, one million files, each one byte in length. Ignoring directory and inode overhead, how much space will actually be consumed on disk? What I'm asking is: What is the actually allocation chunk size used by the ufs file system these days. Once upon a time, it was 1 KB, then 2KB, then 4KB, and I have no idea what it is nowadays.
