Thanks for the clarification. I could have thought of this myself.

No, I'm in a step where I just search for subdirectories, other types do 
not matter here. What I have overlooked, is that dump looks for any 
entry type. This is why it iterates over the triple indirect blocks. I 
just look for directory entries (at lest in that step).

I understand now, that I have to iterate through all indirect block levels.

Thanks!
