- Hello,
- The disk driver will hide the details of disk addresses from the higher
- level layers. The file manager is one such higher layer. Does this mean
- that the disk block allocate and deallocate routines of the file manager
- return logical offsets of block addresses, which the driver uses later on
- for reading or writing.
- What I am asking is, are the values of direct and indirect pointers in
- the inode for a file logical offsets ?
-
- Thanks
