I thought this was a possibility .... However, not being able to change this
in any way has resulted in us having to purchase almost twice the disk we
really need! And about 1/2 of it will always be empty...

I wonder if I could have created a files system in QOpenSys with different
fill allocation parameters???? Hmmm, does anyone know if something like that
is possible?
