== Correction and clarification requested ==
In the "Ease of data ___location" section you have "For example, if each block is 8 kB, file data at 120 to 128 kB would be pointed to by the fourth pointer of the first indirect block (assuming twelve direct pointers in the inode pointer structure)."
Correction: Shouldn't this be "120 to 127 kB" because 120 is counted as the first kB?
Also can you please clarify why its the fourth pointer instead of the third pointer? Because 120/8=15 pointers so 1 to 12 will be direct pointers and the 13th pointer would point to the first indirect block which would have the 13th, 14th and 15th pointers. But the reason why I think you said it's the fourth is because I'm assuming that the pointers start at 0 at the 0kB memory address (making a total of 16 pointers) so in that case the fourth pointer would be correct. If this is so, can this be stated explicitly in on the page? [[User:Jmarbas|Jmarbas]] ([[User talk:Jmarbas|talk]]) 06:57, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
