Date: Sun, 21 Jul 1996 00:11:26 GMT Organization: Altopia Corp. - Affordable Usenet Access - http://www.alt.net Lines: 9 Message-ID: <4sri1r$t7o@tofu.alt.net> X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 When I formated at 1.44M floppy disk and created a new files system on it, I only got a capacity of around 860K. That means that almost half of the disk is wasted to store file system information! How can I tweak the filesystem parameters so that I can increase the capacity to a more rational level without having to sacrifice long file names or random access to files? -- Eric
