Supposedly, it does. Quoting www.namesys.com: "We don't have fixed space allocation for inodes. That saves 6% of your disk. ... In my approach I store both files and filenames in a balanced tree, with small files, directory entries, inodes, and the tail ends of large files all being more efficiently packed as a result of relaxing the requirements of block alignment, and eliminating the use of a fixed space allocation for inodes.
