I didn't find a feedback form in the docs so I've decided to create this thread.
In the https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/technical-overview.html#chunks there is such text:
Aiui, a342 are not 4 bytes because they are not 4 regular (8-bit) characters; they are 4 hexadecimal digits. Thus, a342 is only 2 bytes.
If you asked me, "first four bytes" should be changed to "first two bytes (represented by four hexadecimal digits)", but that looks kinda clumsy.
In the https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/technical-overview.html#chunks there is such text:
Code:
This chunk directory is further subdivided by the first four bytes of the chunk's checksum, so a chunk with the checksum
a342e8151cbf439ce65f3df696b54c67a114982cc0aa751f2852c2f7acc19a8b
lives in
<datastore-root>/.chunks/a342/Aiui, a342 are not 4 bytes because they are not 4 regular (8-bit) characters; they are 4 hexadecimal digits. Thus, a342 is only 2 bytes.
