- hashing progress? => yes

- let's try and keep forward compatibility for the 0.7 release
|

when not using new features; the only features relevant are
|
||||
likely FLAC compression support and "features" support; in
|
||||
theory, we don't even need to increment the minor version at
|
||||
all, since unknown compressions will be caught and feature
|
||||
flags will simply be ignored; maybe it makes sense to have
|
||||
this mode of compatibility only for the 0.8 releases and in
|
||||
0.9 do a hard increment of the minor version; in 0.8, we can
|
||||
use the old minor version if we don't use FLAC and the new

minor version if we do

- Mounting lots of images with shared cache?

|

- how do we make multiple parallel block chains (categories)
|
||||
reproducible?
|
||||
|
||||
=> we could re-write the blocks and update the metadata;
|
||||
however, data added to "uncategorized" blocks would
|
||||
still be random
|
||||
|
||||
=> oooh, easy: we can order all chunks before we start
|
||||
writing them to blocks, so only the block order is
|
||||
random after all, which we can fix by rewriting.
|
||||
the tricky bit is (probably) going to be updating
|
||||
the chunks in the metadata, as they won't be written
|
||||
to the individual blocks sequentially; pretty sure
|
||||
that's a solvable problem.
|
||||
|
||||
=> indeed solvable; chunks aren't finalized until after
|
||||
all blocks have been written. We simply need to subdivide
|
||||
`inode_`s into smaller parts (as provided by the categorizer)
|
||||
and then add chunks to the individual parts, assembling them
|
||||
only after everything has been written
|
||||
|
||||
=> as for re-writing the blocks: we need to keep track of
|
||||
the category of each block, so that we can later sort
|
||||
the blocks by category; we can do this in a separate
|
||||
section, which can later be deleted; or we can even keep
|
||||
it if we want to know later on what category a block
|

belonged to
