Hi, I don't know how to call them, but it seems that ext3 grep allows files to be stored that have a very large size (when doing an 'ls -l') but do not actually allocate all blocks. I assume this is achieved by using 0 as blocknumber for indirect blocks. What are the exact requirements for such files? Is it allowed to have a double indirect block that exists entirely of zeroes? Is it possible there is are 0 entries in the tripple indirect block?
