Talk:SFS

A couple of questions

I had a couple of questions regarding SFS; thing that AFAIK aren't (explicitely) stated in the spec nor on the wiki:

• What happens if the index area turns out to be too small to create a new entry? I assume the most feasible option would be to let it grow downwards (i.e. take space from the Free Space area).
• It is not uncommon for the Starting Marker entry (the one closest to the start of the disk) to not be aligned on BytesPerSector boundaries (e.g. at 128 bytes from a sector). The bytes before the starting marker (if any), are these actually part of the Free Area?
