I can create small files, as many as i have patience, maximum size of 
such "small file" is 14336, so. it seems that if file is no greater than 
(block_size-2048) it can be created. larger file cannot be created.

imho, fragmentation on filesystem should be very low, there were no 
deletions on it, just creations.
