Does "/rom" take up disk space?

I was wondering if the '/rom' directory ate up hard drive space as regular files do. Mm?

Kind of. It's built into the mod, and its virtualized inside of the computer. The /rom folder doesnt exist per computer, just per install of CC.

An experiment could be to add a program into the /rom folder, then compare fs.getFreeSpace("").

I believe the /rom folder is read only for CC, so you'd have to add it in yourself through a resource pack, and even then I don't believe it will lose you space.

The freespace is only for the computer, it doesnt take into account /rom. It will physically take up space on the drive (as in SSD or HHD) in the mod, but otherwise it takes up no space per computer.

Thanks, that answered the question.
