Talk:Free list

This is a very poor treatment of the topic of free lists. It can be noted that free-lists are the underlying implementation approach within many conventional memory managers, and have much more important and far-reaching approaches than linking together fixed-size blocks of memory.

On-disk Free List
Does occur. I know that the old historic Unix filesystems stored the free space as a linked list of blocks on disk. (Or some optimization thereof.) This was readily seen from the `fsck` man page back in the day but I'm having trouble locating a suitable citation.12.139.157.2 (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2022 (UTC)JH
