When Finder sees the Disk, it creates another, the DeskTop file.<br /> In order to speed up things, these three things allocate a lot of contiguous space, just to be sure that it will never be fragmented. In practice, however, that space is never fully used, hence even on a disk with "0 K free" there are still several kbytes free, which can't be used because they're reserved for those uses."</p> <!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-category-app"> <div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Utilities </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-author"> <div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> G &amp; S Speranza </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-year"> <div class="field-label">Year released:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 1992 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-system"> <div class="field-label">System:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> System 7.0 - 7.6 </div> <div class="field-item even"> Mac OS 8 - 8.1 </div> <div class="field-item odd"> Mac OS 9 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-architecture"> <div class="field-label">Architecture:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 68k </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/1430k-free" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/1430k-free#comments Utilities 1992 G & S Speranza Wed, 12 May 2010 14:21:52 +0000 Innes 2885 at http://macintoshgarden.org
