On my system rc.conf is 716 B. The three files (hostname 8 B, vconsole.conf 47 B, and locale.conf 30 B) take up less space. Granted at the moment it's more but that will be offset when the move to systemd can be completed.
You don't really try to argue about a few bytes like this, do you? With the default block size of 4K (for ext4), this doesn't matter anyway.
Though your(Karol) right, that a few bytes doesn't matter in the days of TB+ hard drives, it might be something worth looking at (how much more space will systemd use/save). And on some systems (mostly older) it may matter.
i don't have any figures/proof but i think systemd is gaining quite a bit of populatiry on the embedded linux market -- where space and minimalist is king -- at least ii feel like i've read that a few times recently :-) i'm pretty sure i've read posts to systemd-devel by the http://profusion.mobi/ guys, and some longer blogs too. also in my own endeavors with my Sheevaplug and Pandaboard i've run across a number of people who were using it with great results (as am i :-) probably beating a dead horse here, bu IMO it's just blatantly superior all ways imaginable ... this becomes increasingly obvious the longer you work with it (check out user-sessions! yay!). -- C Anthony
