+The RFS file system consists of superblock at the start followed by a series of groups. A group is a group of blocks and exists to keep the bitmaps in a group to a file block size plus to also help localise blocks and inodes.

-The block bitmap contains a single bit for every block in a group. The default format is to allocate the size of a group based on the number of bits that fit into a single block. For example a block of 1024 bytes has 8,192 bits therefore a group can have 8192 blocks including the block bitmap block. The inode bitmap has a bit for ever inode in the group. An inode is the information about a node on the disk. A node is the data that links the elements of the disk together to create directories, files, and nodes. The number of inodes in a group is format configuration parameter. The default is use 1% of the disk's blocks for inode data. Again with a 1024 byte block size there are 18 inodes per block and 1448 inodes per group.
