In reference to the discussion of "inode files":

Amdahl's UTS filesystem stores small files in the inode.  Since the
inode is quite large under UTS, quite a number of files never need
data blocks.  This is good, since data blocks are 4k.  If I remember
correctly, there is an odd number of bytes around 1200 that can be
stored in the inode.
