Blocks
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ext4 allocates storage space in units of “blocks”. A block is a group of
|
||
|
|
sectors between 1KiB and 64KiB, and the number of sectors must be an
|
||
|
|
integral power of 2. Blocks are in turn grouped into larger units called
|
||
|
|
block groups. Block size is specified at mkfs time and typically is
|
||
|
|
4KiB. You may experience mounting problems if block size is greater than
|
||
|
|
page size (i.e. 64KiB blocks on a i386 which only has 4KiB memory
|
||
|
|
pages). By default a filesystem can contain 2^32 blocks; if the '64bit'
|
||
|
|
feature is enabled, then a filesystem can have 2^64 blocks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For 32-bit filesystems, limits are as follows:

||
|
|

Note: Files not using extents (i.e. files using block maps) must be
|
||
|
|
placed within the first 2^32 blocks of a filesystem. Files with extents
|
||
|
|
must be placed within the first 2^48 blocks of a filesystem. It's not
|
||
|
|
clear what happens with larger filesystems.
