Currently, uncompressed data is all handled in the shifted way, which means we have to shift the whole on-disk plain pcluster to get the logical data. However, since we are also using in-place I/O for uncompressed data, data copy will be reduced a lot if pcluster is recorded in the interlaced way as illustrated below: _______________________________________________________________ | | | |_ tail part |_ head part _| |<- blk0 ->| .. |<- blkn-2 ->|<- blkn-1 ->| The logical data then becomes: ________________________________________________________ |_ head part _|_ blk0 _| .. |_ blkn-2 _|_ tail part _| In addition, non-4k plain pclusters are also survived by the interlaced way, which can be used for non-4k lclusters as well. However, it's almost impossible to de-duplicate uncompressed data in the interlaced way, therefore shifted uncompressed data is still useful.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
