Sorry to respond to my own post in this manner, but I just discovered
that this has to do with the ACP system params. Apparently, extents
refer here to free space.
Anyway, I still have a question (saving grace!):
If ACP_DIRCACHE caches directory blocks, does it not then contain
mappings of filenames to FID's? In which case, what is ACP_FIDCACHE
for?
Again, my apologies for jumping the gun in posting to soon.
