We can implement some kind of filesystem detection to avoid to overwrite an already existing filesystem. - Still risky if stuffs go wrong. - In Linux with largefile4 there is only a very small amount of space wasted. In the order of 0.01%. Not really worth to do it. -- Is this really a problem. If NTFS wastes 12.5% of space by default, can we also -waste something in the order of 2% ? +- With NTFS the saving is also limited, because the "reserved" MFT of 12.5% is +not really exclusively reserved, but can be used also for normal files, +when all the remainig space is filled. * Split the parity in multiple files and allow it to coexist with data in the same disk.
