cluster
     
         an elementary unit of allocation of a disk made
        up of one or more physical blocks.
     
        a file is made up of a whole number of possibly
        non-contiguous clusters.  the cluster size is a tradeoff
        between space efficiency the bigger is the cluster, the
        bigger is on the average the wasted space at the end of each
        file and the length of the fat.
