Description
In the DirectoryScanner, we create a class ScanInfo for every block. This object contains two File objects-- one for the metadata file, and one for the block file. Since those File objects contain full paths, users who pick a lengthly path for their volume roots will end up using an extra N_blocks * path_prefix bytes per block scanned. We also don't really need to store File objects-- storing strings and then creating File objects as needed would be cheaper. This would be a nice efficiency improvement.
