allocation block sizeの例文
- Moreover, any file would be allocated more space than it actually needed, up to the allocation block size.
- Users with many small files, on the other hand, could lose a copious amount of space due to large allocation block size.
- For example, on a 1 GB disk, the allocation block size under HFS is 16 KB, so even a 1 byte file would take up 16 KB of disk space.
- When disks were small, this was of little consequence, because the individual allocation block size was trivial, but as disks started to approach the 1 GB mark, the smallest amount of space that any file could occupy ( a single allocation block ) became excessively large, wasting significant amounts of disk space.
