// Package ext implements readonly ext(2/3/4) filesystems.
package ext

import (
	"io"

// Filesystem implements vfs.FilesystemImpl.
type Filesystem struct {
	// dev is the ReadSeeker for the underlying fs device and is protected by mu.
	dev io.ReadSeeker

	// mu synchronizes the usage of dev. The ext filesystems take locality into
	// condsideration, i.e. data blocks of a file will tend to be placed close
	// together. On a spinning disk, locality reduces the amount of movement of
	// the head hence speeding up IO operations. On an SSD there are no moving
	// parts but locality increases the size of each transer request. Hence,
	// having mutual exclusion on the read seeker while reading a file *should*
	// help in achieving the intended performance gains.
	//
	// Note: This synchronization was not coupled with the ReadSeeker itself
	// because we want to synchronize across read/seek operations for the
	// performance gains mentioned above. Helps enforcing one-file-at-a-time IO.

	// sb represents the filesystem superblock. Immutable after initialization.

	// bgs represents all the block group descriptors for the filesystem.
	// Immutable after initialization.
