Planned usePopulating certain file system items with data regarding maximum file/volume size allowed.
Motivation

It will be very helpful to process data when choosing a file system, etc. Was randomly looking up a file system (FAT). CC0 (talk) 23:54, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Added that one as well. This one is for single files. Thank you for your suggestion :) . CC0 (talk) 14:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • but this is the maximum size for a single file, not the maximum size or capacity of the disk itself - but again I think a suitable qualifier should be sufficient to indicate it is for single files. How many different types of filesystems are there that we think we would need this property for? It seems kind of limited in applicability... ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Thryduulf. Modified the proposal. This one is more general - and can be extended with qualifiers for even purposes beyond file systems, like storage media (DEC tapes, CDs, DVD Single/Doble layer, Single/Double side, etc. CC0 (talk) 09:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
