- - No indirect blocks. This limits maximum file size to the
- number of sector pointers that fit in a single inode
- times the size of a sector, or 126 * 512 == 63 kB given
- 32-bit sizes and 512-byte sectors.
+ - File data is allocated as a single extent, so that
+ external fragmentation can become a serious problem as a
+ file system is used over time.
