Hello,
I cannot find this in the documentation (and the sources are too long),
so I am trying here:
can a file_extent_item with
item.type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_REG
and
item.compression != BTRFS_COMPRESS_NONE
have non zero offset (item.offset != 0) ?
What does it mean in such a case? That compressed data start at 0, but
in the uncompressed data, the data begin at item.offset? What does
item.num_bytes in this case mean - the valid number of bytes from
position item.offset, or the number of all bytes, even those before
position item.offset?
Thank you.
Marek
