Hello all,
I am trying to understand how the allocation of space_map happens.
What I am trying to figure out is how the recursive part is handled. From what I
understand a new allocation (say appending to a file) will cause the space map
to change by appending more allocs that will require extra space on disk and as
such will change the space map again.
I understand that the space map is treated as an object at DMU level, but it is
not clear on how and who allocates the blocks for it.
Thanks in advance
