1. what are the types for RWMKey, int or char?

  • what are the 2 keys for
  • what is the expected use of these 2 keys (optional? required?)
  • are there incompatible uses of these 2 keys

2. depot-Internal Checksum

  • suppose a depot computes checksum for each block and stores it in its allocation table.
    • this checksum never is communicated to the client
  • can an IBP_Manage command invoke a recheck?
    • could this be a use of IBP_Probe
    • can IBP_Manage incorporate a new command?
