Rather than hack perl, I wonder if there is already a tool that will give me a profile of the sizes of files on a file system or tree? I'm looking at experimenting with other file systems like btrfs, xfs and the like to see how they perform with various fixes of files - videos, icons, mail boxes, PDFs, development (source and object fragments) According to what I read, late model FS has either sensitivity to extents or can be configured. But presumably his isn't a J Random filesize thing.
