Hello Bill again. Two things. First. I read this mailing list, so no need to send answers to me personally in copy. Second. I guessed it already, but now it got really obvious, that you didn't do your homework. Please search for your questions in your favorite search engine first. Yes, I know, that there is not much easy to understand information on ext2 (in all flavours) out there, but there is enough to get you startet. Once you get to the details, which you can't get from those online source, feel free to ask again, but I will from now on ignore any question not specific enough for my taste. Ah, and to give you a start, here are some links for you to study before asking ANY more questions here. If you don't understand anything, ask, if you can't figure out anything, ask, but don't ask the easy things, that's really something you should work out for yourself. http://www.nongnu.org/ext2-doc/ext2.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/disklayout.pdf (The pdf also contains details about ocfs2 - you can just ignore that.)
