Are there any plans to support to a (start+len) system?
Perhaps we could replace the 12 direct blocks with 8 direct extents (4
byte start + 2 byte len), while keeping the current system for the
contents of the indirect blocks:
This would ensure that for 99,99% of all files no indirect blocks are
required, but we would avoid a long linear search for highly
fragmented/very long files.
