Can you be more specific? Like how inodes/dirents map to keys in the btree, or how it all ends up on disk? The inodes/dirents code is pretty short, I'd look at inode.c and dirent.c > I'm reading the debug code in drivers/md/bcache/debug.c. > It seems helpful to learn about the internal btree structure. Are you interested in more the format of the btree node itself, on disk? Like struct btree_node, struct btree_node_entry, struct bset, and the packing? I could try and elaborate on that in the guide, give me some specific questions to cover if you've got any -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
