There seems to be a contradiction in the page. First, a bullet says: "Twelve pointers that directly point to blocks of the file's data (direct pointers)" But later: "For example, a 10 block file (probably less than 80 kB in size) would be described using just the inode because its 10 blocks fit in to the ten direct pointers. However an 11 block file needs the inode in addition to an indirect block to contain the eleventh address." Doesn't this imply that there are only 10 direct blocks? I'm afraid I'm not knowledgeable enough to resolve this myself.

Yes--corrected.(Schultkl (talk) 01:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Review for Stub

Even if this have "just a few lines of text". For this topic I do not think the the article contains enough facts to provide an encyclopedic coverage. Please review and mark as {{compu-storage-stub}} if it's necessary. Hashan 11:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
