Because there are 32-bit and 64-bit file systems around, my question is, if it is possible to programm a 128-bit file system for x86 and MacOS?
Thank You for your help!
Is there a way that a 128-bit FS can be programmed?

Sure, but why would you want to?
I think 32-bit file system support about 2 terabytes.
64-bit ones go into the petabyte range...
Unless you convince all the people an businesses on
the net to give you access to their systems and are trying
to make one big virtual fs, I really can't see the need for
a long time.
Probably about when you have a 128-bit cpu in your pager

Does that mean that chunks of data are aligned on
a 512 byte base? Isn't that the sector size?
