No, you just gotta use your brain. That is all.

Who in their right mind, picks the least efficient
way to do something ? The slowness of large hard drives,
demands discipline on the part of the operator, no
matter what OS they're on. Always find and execute
the efficient way.

Why do yo think I do these experiments ? I want
some measure of how bad these things are.

at some point, the effects of file system slowness,
are swamped out by the size of the files. If you
have 64 million files each 1GB in size, then
it hardly matters if an additional seek is required
to stat() the file.

I haven't finished testing, but while testing Macrium again,
I noticed a new issue. These are the breadcrumbs.

     Feature_C12

     tune2fs -O ^orphan_file /dev/mydevice     # I presume this downgrades 6.x kernel EXT4 with this being enabled.
     e2fsck -f /dev/mydevice                   # By doing that, Macrium Reflect should be able to back them up again.

I got the warning about Feature_C12 and I also was not
able to burrow into the EXT4_Feature_C12 partition with
7ZIP switch army knife. So that feature is a general
problem for me, and my small set of cross-platform tools.
That is why I will need to finish testing it. Because the
Feature_C12 is going to slowly leak into my disk collection.
