Inode table

[David Kreuter]

A few questions on the inode table in memory. Is the inode table in 
contiguous memory per file system? Or is it a linked list or some other 
data construct? Does it matter in the sense thats it's an abstraction 
and could be described as a contiguous table?  Is the contruct different 
based on linux distro?
 Or is it always bolted in memory from,  say, the always in core inode 
for root of the filesystem?
Different based on file system?
Realizing that the disk structure are different.
Thanks, David
