Take a look at server-src/holding.h.  Even if the C is not your
flavor, the comments give a pretty good description of how things get
broken down.

As a note, we're toying with the idea of implementing holding disk as
a directory accessed by the VFS device driver.  In this case, the
terminology would change a little bit, but the basic structure would
remain the same.  The interface might change somewhat in that case.
