Reliance will reallocate the whole block. Q: Reliance metadata structure: Is a placement of the following metadata a logical placement? Or is a placement of the following metadata a physical placement? If it is a physical placement, it always exists at a fixed location from a head. ======================= | Master Block ======================= | Meta Root1 ======================= | Meta Root2 ======================= | IMap1 ======================= | IMAP2 ======================= | Root Dir1 ======================= | Root Dir 2 ======================= | Free block ======================= | &grt;snip< ======================= | Free block ======================= A: The Master block holds the locations of the Meta Roots. This is done so that the metaroots don't have to be located in a static location and can be moved around the disk as needed.
