Hello, I have some questions about ext2 file system. 1.How the directory and file name information are stored on the disk? I mean is there a range of blocks set at disk format or intialize time for this kind of information? 2.I know in ext2 the whole disk is made up of the boot block and some block groups. Each block groups contains super block,group descriptors,data block bitmap,inode bitmap,inode table and data blocks. The directory and file name information are stored in which part? In the data blocks? 3.Are file names and other metadata put into the same range of blocks? 4.Where can I find some detail information about ext2 fiel system? Thanks in advance.
