 Hello.

I have a question: does the XFS filesystem support sharing blocks between objects (files, symlinks, fifos, ...). I mean, can 2 distinct objects have their data inside one physical block? If not, what is the "offset" field for in xfs_db output:

xfs_db> inode 19331
xfs_db> bmap -d
data offset 0 startblock 1212 (0/1212) count 1 flag 0
