Notes on things that confused me; results are pulled from existing device implementations, possibly with errors:
* The volume label is assumed to occupy file 0, or at least, the data portion of the device is assumed to start with file 1
* The volume label is assumed to occupy file 0, or at least, the data portion of the device is assumed to start with file 1
* File headers are the first block in each file, so the data in a file really begins at block 1
* File headers are assumed to be a part of the file structure; data in files begins at block zero (the test script seeks there)

Dustin's Notes

Notes on things that confused me; results are pulled from existing device implementations, possibly with errors:

  • The volume label is assumed to occupy file 0, or at least, the data portion of the device is assumed to start with file 1
  • File headers are assumed to be a part of the file structure; data in files begins at block zero (the test script seeks there)
