    NTFS must hate me right now

    I'm exporting my Personal Folders file from Outlook into separate text files (so I can re-import them into some useful format when I move to Linux).

    So far, it's a couple of hundred thousand files, of about 4 bytes each. Cluster size is what, 4K?

    Somehow I don't think it likes me doing this...

    if you choose that, make a solid archive or it'll waste a lot of space
