Hi Kent,

I'm trying to understand how the root inode is stored in the inode
btree.

dd if=/dev/zero of=fs.img bs=10M count=1
bcacheadm format -C fs.img
mount -t bcache -o loop fs.img /mnt
umount /mnt
hexdump -C fs.img > fs.hex

From my simple tool, I know that the inode btree starts from offset
0xec000

btree_node (0xec000)
bset (0xed008) ---> bset->u64s = 0x0b = 11
bkey_packed (0xed020)
bkey (0xed020)
bch_inode (0xed040 to 0xed077) ---> root inode

Is the decode above correct?

I found the root inode manually. But how is it actually found by code?

Could you help to explain what it is from 0xec070 to 0xed007?
Are they also bsets?

Thanks,
Ming
