Subject[IDEA] - run-length compaction of block numbers
Date
Is there any value in creating a new filesystem that encodes long contiguous 
blocks as a single block run instead of multiple block numbers? A long file
may use only a few block runs instead of many block numbers if there is
little fragmentation (usually the case). Also dynamic allocation of
inodes...etc. The details are long; anyone interested can e-mail me
privately.
