So if I understand correctly you are suggesting that I use as few directories as possible to save space (less metadata for them), but still a single file will weight more in metadata than it's size? That suggests that I cant have no metadatata suballocation, in any case. Correct? So ... what's the size of metadata for a regular file, even empty? A full block? Really tnx!
