I don't have a link, but I do know that Reiser can pack multiple small files into 1 block (tail packing). Thus, if you have a directory with 10,000 *small* files, they may only take 500 or 1,000 blocks, instead of 10,000 blocks. Thus, minimized disk reads, and faster processing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
