`Basic Concept`

block

文件系统把每个磁盘分割为多个block group.每个block group有被分割为多个block.每个block是文件在磁盘上连续空间。当使用默认文件系统参数时候,每个block大小是4k.当touch文件不写入任何数据时候，文件是不会被分配任何的block,当写入一定数据时候会以block为基本单位进行分配空间给文件。

// 创建空文件
$ touch /mnt/ext4/a.txt
// Blocks是磁盘扇区的大小，IO Block是操作系统每次IO的大小(4K)，明显占用扇区的大小为0
$ stat /mnt/ext4/a.txt 
  File: /mnt/ext4/a.txt
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   regular empty file

// 尝试写入数据写入到文件
$ echo -n "hello" > /mnt/ext4/a.txt 
// 这里看到ext4文件系统分配了8个扇区,每个扇区大小是512个字节，所以8个扇区大小就是IO Block大小
$ stat /mnt/ext4/a.txt 
  File: /mnt/ext4/a.txt

// 查看文件block信息，这里a.txt文件没有分配任何的extent.因为大小就几个字节，用一个直接数据块存储即可。
$ filefrag -v /mnt/ext4/a.txt 
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /mnt/ext4/a.txt is 5 (1 block of 4096 bytes)
 ext:     logical_offset:        physical_offset: length:   expected: flags:
   0:        0..       0:    1015808..   1015808:      1:             last,eof
/mnt/ext4/a.txt: 1 extent found

block group

block group是一组连续的block的集合。默认的情况下8个 block组成一个block group。

$ dumpe2fs /dev/sde |egrep 'Blocks per group|Block size'
dumpe2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Block size:               4096
// 每个block group大小，这里是32K，Block 大小是4K,Block Group包含了8个Block
Blocks per group:         32768

inode

inode是文件系统中每个文件的唯一标识，映射IO Block到磁盘扇区的对应关系。inode一般存储了文件的acess/modify/create的时间、访问权限、以及最重要的这个文件包含了哪些Blocks.这里需要注意的是ext4系统中当删除文件的时候，这个文件的inode是可以被回收然后被新文件重用。

$ stat /mnt/ext4/a.txt 
  File: /mnt/ext4/a.txt
  Size: 5               Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file

superblock

superblock是存储了ext4文件系统的元数据信息，一旦superblock损坏整个文件系统是无法访问的。因此superblock会有多个备份。ext4文件系统采用了sparse_super方式备份superblock.

extent

ext4文件系统为了保证读写大文件的效率，采用了extent和B-Tree数据结构。这样可以减少大文件的元数据存储量同时也能提供数据块的检索和更新的效率。
