Question about many tiny files vs block size

[xeoncross]

This design creates a single file for every entry. If there are a lot of small entries, this wastes disk space as the default block size is often 4096 bytes or more. I was curious to know if there would be a way to combine the tiny writes into a single index and only break them out into their own files when they grew big enough (user input here?) to effectively be spread out over the file system.

Nope! The notion that a diskv entry is 1-to-1 with a file on disk is a core property of the system.
