I am wondering after reading the btrfs | code for certain functions there seem to | be a lot of u64 variable and function returns of this type. Is this | common in file system due to the disk | being in a certain format and depending on the CPU being big or small | endian that this needed to not reorder | the disk parts that are being read into main memory and preserve the data's ordering? | Cheers Nick `---- on disk format is little-endian.
have a look at https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page for more information. kind regards anupam
