Extents

The DFS layer can be thought of as our file system layer, it understand files these large chunks of storage called extents, how to store them, how to replicate them, etc, but it doesn't understand higher level object constructs nor their semantics. ❋ Windows Azure Storage (2010)

So by using "if" in this context, you miss out on some but not all of the meaning. ❋ Cropatop (2021)
