From: "Ronald F. Guilmette" Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 19:05:00 -0700 Message-ID: <20038.935892300@monkeys.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
