So what's in a DAOS NLO file name ?

Here is an example DAOS NLO file name:

A31EBC22B37766C61D8A74AF4546EECDAF3226120015E3E6.nlo

It appears to have two components, the first 40 characters are the file's SHA1 hash, and the next 8 characters are its file size.

This is very similar to how we store messages in the Preemptive Email Vault. The same file in it would be

A31EBC22B37766C61D8A74AF4546EECDAF322612.jpg

Again it is the SHA1 hash of the file, but in our case we also leave the extension.
