Subject: [IDEA] - run-length compaction of block numbers
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2004 11:38:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY1-F117hxeH6PC8MS00006f92@hotmail.com> (raw)
Is there any value in creating a new filesystem that encodes long contiguous
blocks as a single block run instead of multiple block numbers? A long file
may use only a few block runs instead of many block numbers if there is
little fragmentation (usually the case). Also dynamic allocation of
inodes...etc. The details are long; anyone interested can e-mail me
privately.
