Inode pointer structure, the Glossary
The inode pointer structure is a structure adopted by the inode of a file in the Unix File System (UFS) to list the addresses of a file's data blocks.[1]

Block (data storage)
In computing (specifically data transmission and data storage), a block, sometimes called a physical record, is a sequence of bytes or bits, usually containing some whole number of records, having a maximum length; a block size.

Computer Systems Research Group
The Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) was a research group at the University of California, Berkeley that was dedicated to enhancing AT&T Unix operating system and funded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Ext3
ext3, or third extended filesystem, is a journaled file system that is commonly used by the Linux kernel.
See Inode pointer structure and Ext3
Inode
The inode (index node) is a data structure in a Unix-style file system that describes a file-system object such as a file or a directory. Inode pointer structure and inode are Unix file system technology.

Marshall Kirk McKusick
Marshall Kirk McKusick (born January 19, 1954) is a computer scientist, known for his extensive work on BSD UNIX, from the 1980s to FreeBSD in the present day.

Samuel J. Leffler
Samuel J Leffler is a computer scientist, known for his extensive work on BSD, from the 1980s to FreeBSD in the present day. Among other projects, he created HylaFAX (originally known as FlexFAX, but renamed due to copyright issues), LibTIFF, and the FreeBSD Wireless Device Drivers.

Unix File System
The Unix file system (UFS) is a family of file systems supported by many Unix and Unix-like operating systems. Inode pointer structure and Unix File System are Unix file system technology.
