but the FAT32 argument may not be so valid with a file that is larger than 64k, would it? i would imagine the maximum wasted space would be 65535 bytes assuming you filled up the previous blocks and 1 byte overflowed into the next block. ????
You can waste up to 64k per file. Tile-based mapping appears to use many files, it probably stores each tile in a file.
Actual filesystem usage:
$ gdu -sch MyDocs/.maps/Open*
14M MyDocs/.maps/OpenCycleMap
62M MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I
8.4M MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap II 84M total
Actual bytes stored:
$ gdu -scbh MyDocs/.maps/Open*
8.8M MyDocs/.maps/OpenCycleMap
19M MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I
3.7M MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap II 32M total
Is it possible to make an NTFS/EXT3 partition and store the Map tiles there? I have heard about something called loopback devie. Can somebody please explain or point me in the right direction?
