hello everybody,

here's one thing i haven't been able to figure out about the 
catalog and an the extents trees on a volume. if i've understood
correctly the info on this in the file manager section of im-iv,
the search key for extents records is the file number. so, assuming
that the catalog file grows to be large enough to need more extents
than the three assigned for it initially in the volume information block
(im-iv, page 166), what is the search key (i.e. file number) for
the extents records of the catalog file?? 
(my guess is: extents file = 0, catalog file = 1, root dir = 2, etc)

thanks for any help,
jussi reissell.
