Dear folks, i wondered why directory lengths are specified in blocksize units resulting in the last dirent in the block to fill up the space with its rec_len. Searching for free space to enter a directory entry i could use rec_len - NILFS_DIR_REC_LEN(last_dir_enty->namelen) as free space indicator but i wondered if it might not be a better practice to allow zero-length dir entries that are used to fill up the rest of the block with its rec_len.
Thoughts? With regards, Reinoud
