Implementation of Data compaction and Inodes

[zsolt_zs]

Hi,

After reviewing some documentation about implementation of Data compaction I have some opened questions.

How are the inodes changed with this feature?

Are there just multiple inodes referencing to the same 4Kb block?

How do we get the right data if there is multiple refecences to same block? Or the blocks are devided to smaller ones?

Thank you for the answers
