+ * Data chunks that are smaller than the block size indicated by the super
+ * block (such as the final chunk of a file or an entire file that is smaller
+ * than a signle block) can be grouped in a single fragment block.
+ *
+ * Regular file inodes referre to the location of the first block and store a
+ * sequence of block sizes for all consequitve blocks, as well as a fragment
+ * index and fragment offset which is resolved through a fragment table.
+ *
+ * The data reader abstracts all of this away in a simple interface that allows
+ * reading file data through an inode description and a location in the file.
