Hope you're well!
I wasn't proposing keeping file metadata in multiple blocks -- just, might as well consider if any functionality might be worth adding in the remaining block of the filesystem triad, if it's gonna be a triad (source code, metadata, empty). (This makes the larger minimum size of these triads a bit of an attractive nuisance from a "Forth Zen" pov...)

oh, yeah, that makes sense. you could probably fit most of the standard cp/m or unix filesystem utilities into the remainder; cp, rm, mv, cat, head, and so on. maybe nsweep
