My last question is. How about a discontinuous cluster like [0..31] maps to discontinuous three blocks like physical address 0x4, 0x14 and 0x24. I think we have to return three extents for the one logical region like the below. What do you think? [0..31] -> 0x4 (merged, encoded) [0..31] -> 0x14 (merged, encoded) [0..31] -> 0x24 (merged, encoded, last_extent) _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
