There is a file in the same directory as filestore.C called
filestore.README which provides a rudimentary explanation.

The idea of the inode in filestore is roughly the same as inodes in
the original unix filesystem (ffs) and that appears in more modern
unix filesystems (like ext2) as well.  You may also find the
the SFSRO paper [1] helpful.
