Re: double indirect block+inode

Ok that makes sense. If there is 15 pointers where the first 12 are
direct pointers to data block and the last 3 are pointers to indirect
blocks (single, double, triple) would the first pointer then point to
the first data block of the file and the last used pointer point to the
last block of data for the file?
