Well, should I call that dingbat a hunk which are lumps of chunks? ;-) Of course I meant "chunk" being a contiguous group of "blocks" in a file, not a "chunk" in sense of btrfs specific terms of being an "allocation group". I think it's clear we are out of words as you point out - so I hope everyone got that right because I tried to "redefine" it for my purpose by writing "chunks of extents"... > [...] -- Replies to list only preferred. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
