|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In ufs/ffs/fs.h
|
|
.In ufs/ufs/inode.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The files
|
|
.Aq Pa ufs/ffs/fs.h
|
|
and
|
|
.Aq Pa ufs/ufs/inode.h
|
|
declare several structures, defined variables and macros
|
|
which are used to create and manage the underlying format of
|
|
file system objects on random access devices (disks).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The block size and number of blocks which
|
|
comprise a file system are parameters of the file system.
|
|
Sectors beginning at
|
|
.Dv BBLOCK
|
|
and continuing for
|
|
.Dv BBSIZE
|
|
are used
|
|
for a disklabel and for some hardware primary
|
|
and secondary bootstrapping programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The actual file system begins at sector
|
|
.Dv SBLOCK
|
|
with the
|
|
.Em super-block
|
|
that is of size
|
|
.Dv SBSIZE .
|
|
The following structure described the super-block and is
|
|
from the file
|
|
.Aq Pa ufs/ffs/fs.h :

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each disk drive contains some number of file systems.
|
|
A file system consists of a number of cylinder groups.
|
|
Each cylinder group has inodes and data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A file system is described by its super-block, which in turn
|
|
describes the cylinder groups.
|
|
The super-block is critical data and is replicated in each cylinder
|
|
group to protect against catastrophic loss.
|
|
This is done at file system creation time and the critical super-block
|
|
data does not change, so the copies need not be referenced further
|
|
unless disaster strikes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Addresses stored in inodes are capable of addressing fragments
|
|
of `blocks'.
|
|
File system blocks of at most size
|
|
.Dv MAXBSIZE
|
|
can
|
|
be optionally broken into 2, 4, or 8 pieces, each of which is
|
|
addressable; these pieces may be
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE ,
|
|
or some multiple of
|
|
a
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
unit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Large files consist of exclusively large data blocks.
|
|
To avoid undue wasted disk space, the last data block of a small
|
|
file is allocated as only as many fragments of a large block as
|
|
are necessary.
|
|
The file system format retains only a single pointer to such a
|
|
fragment, which is a piece of a single large block that has been divided.
|
|
The size of such a fragment is determinable from
|
|
information in the inode, using the
|
|
.Fn blksize fs ip lbn
|
|
macro.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file system records space availability at the fragment level;
|
|
to determine block availability, aligned fragments are examined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The root inode is the root of the file system.
|
|
Inode 0 can't be used for normal purposes and
|
|
historically bad blocks were linked to inode 1,
|
|
thus the root inode is 2 (inode 1 is no longer used for
|
|
this purpose, however numerous dump tapes make this
|
|
assumption, so we are stuck with it).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fs_minfree
|
|
element gives the minimum acceptable percentage of file system
|
|
blocks that may be free.
|
|
If the freelist drops below this level
|
|
only the super-user may continue to allocate blocks.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fs_minfree
|
|
element
|
|
may be set to 0 if no reserve of free blocks is deemed necessary,
|
|
however severe performance degradations will be observed if the
|
|
file system is run at greater than 90% full; thus the default
|
|
value of
|
|
.Fa fs_minfree
|
|
is 10%.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Empirically the best trade-off between block fragmentation and
|
|
overall disk utilization at a loading of 90% comes with a
|
|
fragmentation of 8, thus the default fragment size is an eighth
|
|
of the block size.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The element
|
|
.Fa fs_optim
|
|
specifies whether the file system should try to minimize the time spent
|
|
allocating blocks, or if it should attempt to minimize the space
|
|
fragmentation on the disk.
|
|
If the value of fs_minfree (see above) is less than 10%,
|
|
then the file system defaults to optimizing for space to avoid
|
|
running out of full sized blocks.
|
|
If the value of minfree is greater than or equal to 10%,
|
|
fragmentation is unlikely to be problematical, and
|
|
the file system defaults to optimizing for time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Cylinder group related limits :
|
|
Each cylinder keeps track of the availability of blocks at different
|
|
rotational positions, so that sequential blocks can be laid out
|
|
with minimum rotational latency.
|
|
With the default of 8 distinguished
|
|
rotational positions, the resolution of the
|
|
summary information is 2ms for a typical 3600 rpm drive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The element
|
|
.Fa fs_rotdelay
|
|
gives the minimum number of milliseconds to initiate
|
|
another disk transfer on the same cylinder.
|
|
It is used in determining the rotationally optimal
|
|
layout for disk blocks within a file;
|
|
the default value for
|
|
.Fa fs_rotdelay
|
|
is 2ms.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each file system has a statically allocated number of inodes,
|
|
determined by its size and the desired number of file data bytes per
|
|
inode at the time it was created. See
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
for details on how to set this (and other) filesystem parameters.
|
|
By default, the inode allocation strategy is extremely conservative.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dv MINBSIZE
|
|
is the smallest allowable block size.
|
|
With a
|
|
.Dv MINBSIZE
|
|
of 4096
|
|
it is possible to create files of size
|
|
2^32 with only two levels of indirection.
|
|
.Dv MINBSIZE
|
|
must be big enough to hold a cylinder group block,
|
|
thus changes to
|
|
.Pq Fa struct cg
|
|
must keep its size within
|
|
.Dv MINBSIZE .
|
|
Note that super-blocks are never more than size
|
|
.Dv SBSIZE .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The path name on which the file system is mounted is maintained in
|
|
.Fa fs_fsmnt .
|
|
.Dv MAXMNTLEN
|
|
defines the amount of space allocated in
|
|
the super-block for this name.
|
|
The limit on the amount of summary information per file system
|
|
is defined by
|
|
.Dv MAXCSBUFS .
|
|
For a 4096 byte block size, it is currently parameterized for a
|
|
maximum of two million cylinders.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Per cylinder group information is summarized in blocks allocated
|
|
from the first cylinder group's data blocks.
|
|
These blocks are read in from
|
|
.Fa fs_csaddr
|
|
(size
|
|
.Fa fs_cssize )
|
|
in addition to the super-block.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy N.B.:
|
|
.Fn sizeof "struct csum"
|
|
must be a power of two in order for
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn fs_cs
|
|
macro to work.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em "Super-block for a file system" :
|
|
The size of the rotational layout tables
|
|
is limited by the fact that the super-block is of size
|
|
.Dv SBSIZE .
|
|
The size of these tables is
|
|
.Em inversely
|
|
proportional to the block size of the file system.
|
|
The size of the tables is increased when sector sizes are not powers
|
|
of two, as this increases the number of cylinders included before
|
|
the rotational pattern repeats
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_cpc .
|
|
The size of the rotational layout
|
|
tables is derived from the number of bytes remaining in
|
|
.Pq Fa struct fs .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of blocks of data per cylinder group
|
|
is limited because cylinder groups are at most one block.
|
|
The inode and free block tables
|
|
must fit into a single block after deducting space for
|
|
the cylinder group structure
|
|
.Pq Fa struct cg .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em Inode :
|
|
The inode is the focus of all file activity in the
|
|
.Ux
|
|
file system.
|
|
There is a unique inode allocated
|
|
for each active file,
|
|
each current directory, each mounted-on file,
|
|
text file, and the root.
|
|
An inode is `named' by its device/i-number pair.
