No. It was a first course in filesystems. I imagine the guy picked est2
because it was easy to look up the reference material. (We never, ever
used anything that actually had est2 on it...)
While we're on the subject... NTFS has an optimisation where "small"
files are stored in the same block as the directory entry. (Saves
seeking and wasting half a disk block.) Does est2 have any optimisations
for small files?
