I am trying to analyze a filehist report of a Spectrum Scale filesystem I
recently collected. Given below is the data and I have put my
interpretation in parentheses. Could someone from Sale development review
and let me know if my interpretation is correct? Filesystem block size is
16 MB and system pool block size is 256 KB.
