Nice explanation. Can you add it to the comment header at the top of
the file? Unlike the GPL preample, it actually helps non-lawyers. ;)
Using dummy inodes is... unusual. Why can you not use the actual inodes
those blocks belong to? Or alternatively a single inode that simply
covers the complete physical device?
