Hi,
As a disk size tends to be larger, some desktop PCs have a disk
storages which have the capacity to supply more than multi-TB recently.
But now ext2/3 can't support more than 2TB file in 4K-blocksize.
And then I think the file size of ext2/3 also should be extended.
The unit of ext2/ext3_inode.i_blocks is sector(512B) and the variable
size is 4bytes, so it limits the max file size to 2TB.
I found that i_blocks is always counted with rounding up to the file
system block size and does not have fractions. So we can change the
unit of ext2/ext3_inode.i_blocks from sector to block size.
This change extends the maximum file size as below.
Original Extended
ext3(Max block size=4KB) 1.998TB 4.003TB
ext2(Max block size=64KB) 1.998TB 128TB
- The max block size is different between ext2 and ext3.
And it does not reclaim other entry in ext2/ext3_inode such as i_frag
and i_faddr.
This modification depends on the following patches in mm-tree.
- 2tb-files-st_blocks-is-invalid-when-calling-stat64.patch
- 2tb-files-add-blkcnt_t.patch
- 2tb-files-add-blkcnt_t-fixes.patch
This patch set is composed of four parts as below.
[1/4] ext2(linux 2.6.16-rc6-mm1)
- Add new compatible flag "EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BLOCK".
It indicates that the file size is extended.
- If the flag is set in the super block, ext2_inode.i_blocks is
translated into the number of sectors and set to i_blocks of VFS
inode. And, if not, ext2_inode.i_blocks is passed to i_blocks
of VFS inode as it is.
- If the flag is set, the limit of the max file size defined in
ext2_max_size() is set to block size * 2G-1(2^31-1).
[2/4] ext3(linux 2.6.16-rc6-mm1)
- The same modifications as ext2.
[3/4] changing the unit of ext2/ext3_inode.i_blocks (e2fsprogs-1.38)
- Add new feature "large_block" to -O option in mke2fs.
- If the flag which specifies the extended filesystem is set,
all commands manages ext2/3_inode.i_blocks as the number of
filesystem blocks.
[4/4] Fix the max file size limit (e2fsprogs-1.38)
- Change the format string(%d) for i_blocks to %u.
- If the flag is set, the max file blocks which used by e2fsck is
set to 2G-1(2^31-1).
Any feedback and comments are welcome.
