[Gluster-devel] Unify namespace-size convention

[Amar S. Tumballi]

Hi,
 Sorry for the late reply.

 The size of namespace as it contains entries for each file/directory on the
storage nodes, is directly dependent on number of files.

Size of namespace = total number of  files *  size of one block in
filesystem.

so, it would be useful to create a namespace directory (say partition), with
very less block size.
