Um, most filesystems already do this.
Unix filesystems typically have "blocks"
and "fragments", for example. It's only
lame, legacy-ridden (read: DOS) filesystems
that are limited to a single cluster size. |

Or do I misunderstand your idea? |

Apple introduced better disk space management in MacOS 8.1 (Shipped about
Jan 1998?) I added a link. Look at the section called "Efficient Use of
Disk Space." |

just to make one thing clear - when i said 'drive', i meant 'partition' |
|

Whether it's called a drive or a partition, most file systems allow for variable cluster sizes. |
