Extent
An extent is a contiguous area of storage in a computer file system, reserved for a file. When a process creates a file, file-system management software allocates a whole extent. When writing to the file again, possibly after doing other write operations, the data continues where the previous write left off. This reduces or eliminates file fragmentation and possibly file scattering too. An extent-based file system need not require limiting each file to a single, contiguous extent. The following systems support extents: ⁕ASM - Automatic Storage Management - Oracle's database-oriented filesystem. ⁕BFS - BeOS, Zeta and Haiku operating systems. ⁕Btrfs - GPL'd extent based file storage for Linux. ⁕Ext4 - Linux filesystem. ⁕Files-11 - Digital Equipment Corporation OpenVMS filesystem. ⁕HFS and HFS Plus - Hierarchical File System - Apple Macintosh filesystems. ⁕HPFS - High Performance File Syzstem - OS/2 and eComStation. ⁕JFS - Journaled File System - Used by AIX, OS/2/eComStation and Linux operating systems.

The issue of extremists -- both white supremacists and anti-government extremists like the militia movement -- in the military is certainly a real problem and a perennial one. For that reason, it needs to be addressed, because the past few decades have illustrated that it will not go away on its own, we should be realistic about the extent of the problem, of course. We are talking about a small number of extremists here -- but as they can in general society, extremists in the military can cause harm disproportionate to their numbers.
