Hello!
I got a question reggarding the way small data is saved on bfs used in
haiku. Dominic on it's book says:

"tha bytes of the name begin in the name field and continue from there. The
attribute value (its data) is stored immediately following the bytes of the
name" (pag 61)

Now i'm taking a look at haiku alpha image (in file
haiku-r1alpha1-image.zip), and for example lets take the Tracker file inode
( inode number 262164, on disk plain offset 0x2000A000h):

2000A0E0   40 35 42 28   00 00 00 00   52 54 53 43   01 00 07 00   13 00 00
00   54 72 61 63     6B 65 72 00    53 4D 49 4D

2000A100   09 00 23 00   42 45 4F 53   3A 54 59 50  45 00 00 00   61 70 70
6C   69 63 61 74    69 6F 6E 2F     78 2D 76 6E

2000A120   64 2E 42 65   2D 65 6C 66  65 78 65 63   75 74 61 62   6C 65 00
00   53 4D 49 4D   0C 00 1A 00   42 45 4F 53
d.Be-elfexecutable..SMIM....BEOS

If we focus on offset 200A0E8 we got the first small_data, but it's data is
not immediately after the value. The happens with the next value.

Does haiku save small data in a different way, or i misunderstood something
on Dominic's book??

Thanks!!
