Hi,

The attached code contains program to estimate the cross-chunk
references for ChunkFS file system (idea from Valh). Below are the
results:

test on ext3, / partition-1 on 27 March 2007
Number of files = 217806
Number of directories = 24295
Total size = 8193116 KB
Total data stored = 7557892 KB
Size of block groups = 131072 KB
Number of inodes per block group = 16288
Total no. of cross references = 60657
------------------------------------------------
test on ext3, / partition-1 on 22 March 2007

Size of block groups = 131072 KB
Number of inodes per block group = 16288
Total no. of cross references = 62163

test on ext3, / partition-2 on 22 March 2007
Number of files = 79509
