That's not very relevant for a Filesystem, is it? For a filesystem,
the number of files, the frequency of file changes, the size of a disk,
are far more important.
And especially the amount of storage available on today's PCs exceeds the
amount on a small VAX... I have 1.5 Gigabyte of HD space in my "small PC".
