I'm not sure what you're asking, but here are SOME answers (maybe even to you
questions). I don't know what the exact function is which hashes filenames
into offsets, but the technique should reduce looking for files (with a
known filename) considerably. The offset points to the first name with that
hash value. The bit map SHOULD be used for allocating sectors when they are
need for writing a file. I realize this seems a bit general, perhaps if you
could be more specific in the questions, I could be more specific in my
answers.
