Extentsize

Set Extentsize keepfile [ workfile ]

(Initially: 100, 30 sectors)

Set Extentsize specifies the size in sectors of disc chunks for files built by Qedit. There are separate values for Keep files versus Qedit workfiles, since Keep files are normally static while New files are dynamic. Initially the minimum extent size for Keep files is 100 sectors and 30 sectors for work files.

For small files, Qedit reduces the number of extents by increasing the size of each to the specified minimum. This avoids generating numerous small pieces of space that clutter up the disc and make backup take longer. If you are very tight on disc space, you may want smaller values for Extentsize. If you have extra disc space, you should use a larger value such as 300 sectors. The range of values accepted is 5 to 5000 sectors.
