The volume store structures manage the reading and writing of chapter pages. When a chapter is closed, it is packed into a read-only structure, split across several pages, and written to storage. The volume store also contains a cache and specialized queues that sort and batch requests by the page they need, in order to minimize latency and I/O requests when records have to be read from storage. The cache and queues also coordinate with the volume index to ensure that the volume does not waste resources reading pages that are no longer valid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
