Zusammenfassung:This application relates generally to file systems, and more particularly, to extent based file systems. A memory storage device has a file storage operating system which uses an inode to record and find segments of each data file. The inode includes a plurality of rows.

At least two of the extents point to data blocks having addresses in different logical volumes.
