Is there any value in creating a new filesystem that encodes long contiguous blocks as a single block run instead of multiple block numbers? A long file may use only a few block runs instead of many block numbers if there is little fragmentation (usually the case). Also dynamic allocation of inodes...etc. The details are long; anyone interested can e-mail me privately.
