What is ....

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, you have my FULL attention now Kurt ...

Anyway, a multi value is designed to use variable length fields in
a variable length record format , Hence the statement in it is
relatively space efficient. Using only what it needs without any
pre-defined format for data layout.

However, as I uderstand it (;->) a "file manger" using the
ext2/3 or other, is going to be constrained by the inode/block
allocation for access, no? Meaning read's and writes are going to
some form of the physical "page" size the system uses regardless of
actual bytes in use in a file (is this correct?)

Now, on using bit map's, how does one go about keeping them
in the CPU or even L1 cache, or is that automatic (or do you use the
REGISTER type?)


Thanks ...
