Please don't do that.
Hopefully, once this is in, 1k blocks will work much better. There are many cases where people work with lots of small files, and using 1k blocks is bad enough, 4k would be worse.
Also, with dhash going into ext2/3 lots of tiny files in one dir will be feasible and comparible with reiserfs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
