A block is 512 bytes NOT 512 kB!!! One block = 0.5 kB 1 MB = 1000 kB = 2000 blocks All my numbers were off by a factor of 1000. I'm just so used to doing that conversion lke a reflex... Crist J.

My only question is what is a block? How many bytes or megabytes is that? I need to set a limit of say...5 MB, how many blocks would that be? Also, what is an INODE? All help is greatly appreciated.
