 qnx6fs shares many properties with traditional Unix filesystems. It has the
 concepts of blocks, inodes and directories.

 On QNX it is possible to create little endian and big endian qnx6 filesystems.

 qnx6fs deals with writes.

 always uses blocks from the lower half while superblock #2 just writes to
 blocks represented by the upper half bitmap system area bits.
