- cryptonector 2y agoSorry, yes, CAS really means that pointers are hash values -- maybe with extra metadata, yes, but _not_ including physical locations. The point is that you need some other way to map logical pointers to physical locations. The easiest way to do that is to store the mappings nearby to the references so that they are easy to find, but the mappings must be left out of the Merkle hash tree in order to make it possible to change the physical locations of the referenced blocks.
