I have a question: does the XFS filesystem support sharing blocks between objects (files, symlinks, fifos, ...). I mean, can 2 distinct objects have their data inside one physical block? If not, what is the "offset" field for in xfs_db output: xfs_db> inode 19331 xfs_db> bmap -d data offset 0 startblock 1212 (0/1212) count 1 flag 0 -- Pozdrawiam/Regards - Bogdan (GNU/Linux & FreeDOS) Kurs asemblera x86 (DOS, GNU/Linux):http://rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl/~bogdro Grupy dyskusyjne o asm: pl.comp.lang.asm alt.pl.asm alt.pl.asm.win32 www.JabberPL.org www.TorProject.org Soft (EN): miniurl.pl/bogdro-soft
