hello,
i want to know that given a filename in reiser4 say "/root/abc.txt"
how do u find the key for this file. I am confused in the following two ways:
1)Does the complete string that is the "/root/abc.txt" is converted into the key and then we traverse the tree using the key to read the data.
Where the information about converting the name into key is stored? Is there some particular data structure or a way to convert such name directly into key?
2)Is the "/" key is first found and then we go to the directory item of the "/" to get the key of "root" and get the key for "abc.txt" and then traverse the tree for abc.txt. For that the "/" directory address should be stored somewhere or it should have a fixed address like in ext2?
