Managing filesystem types

s5 storage blocks

The rest of the space allocated to the filesystem is occupied by storage blocks, also called data blocks. For a regular file, the storage blocks contain the contents of the file. For a directory, the storage blocks contain 16-byte entries. Each entry represents a file or subdirectory that is a member of the directory. An entry consists of two bytes for the i-number and 14 bytes for the filename of the member file or subdirectory.
