## Notes
122+
1. Only regular files, block special files and directories (only for consistency guarantees) are handled by SplitFS, the other file types are delegated to POSIX.

2. Only files in the persistent memory mount are handled by SplitFS, rest are delegated to POSIX.
124+
Currently this is only done by examination of absolute paths specified, we aim to have this check for relative paths too, soon.
