Title: Dense files

Hi,

I'm probably asking something so obvious ... but I admit that I'm somewhat of a beginner.

I saw dense files mentioned in some of the publications on the open source JFS, but have not found a way of doing this from within the docs, the code, the mkfs or the tune utility.  I've tried to trace the *SPARSE flags in the fs/jfs and jfsutils.  I've tried searching the jfs-*.mbox files on the official jfs website for "sparse" and "dense" and "contiguous" but nothing turned up.  Looked through the file layout paper which has a great example of a sparse file, but I'm looking for a dense example.

I'm running RH ES3 AS update 2, kernel 2.4.21-20.Elsmp on an x86_64 platform if any of this is relevant.

Pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Michael.
