And do not forget that even the directory "foo" can have more then 4 kB
since it holds the directory file table...
There was a thread on LKM where if you have BLOCKSIZE of
1 kByte you can have up to 128.000 Files in the directory
2 kByte "" 8.000.000 Files "
4 kByte "" 829.000.000 Files "
and since the directory infos must be stored anywhere...
Oh, in my ~/Maildir/ I have some Mailfolder which have more then 180 kB
and are nice shown in "Midnight Commander"
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
