Perhaps this is an Americanism. It is higher than one would believe
in a "fantasy story" but perforce must believe when seen in real life.
It does seem rather ridiculously or unbelievably or unrealistically 
or fish story high. But you have the numbers right in front of you.
So unbelievable or not it can happen. It certainly is fascinating
that it has.

How full is that file system?
