With very small files yes. For normal use (the two lower tables) the difference is not so big. As I mentioned in my oriignal post.

From MinixFS documentation:
6. It is possible to make *huge* partitions, theoretically the limit is 4096Gb

Output from my df, MinixFS:

f: 2761687 1331820 1429867 48% /f

Now, my 2.7g MinixFS partion is impossible regarding you. And well, it's fun to do the impossible ;-)
