Re: Resolving data_offset and data_len

What does cursor.leaf->data_len represent? Is it the data record's
length in KB? (so it would be either 16K or 64K).

Does (cursor.leaf->data_offset - cursor.leaf->data_len) represents a
*byte offset* from the beginning of the block device? Or is it a
relative value to some other value?

I am trying to figure out how hammer_vop_strategy_read() works. I have
used `xxd' to get a readable representation of my disk and I scrolled
down to the value indicated by `disk_offset', but the data I was looking
for wasn't there.
