FS(5)			  FreeBSD File Formats Manual			 FS(5)

NAME
     fs, inode -- format of file system volume

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     #include 

     #include 
     #include 
     #include 
     #include 

DESCRIPTION
     The files <fs.h> and <inode.h> declare several structures, defined vari-
     ables and macros which are used to create and manage the underlying for-
     mat of file system objects on random access devices (disks).

     The block size and number of blocks which comprise a file system are
     parameters of the file system.  Sectors beginning at BBLOCK and continu-
     ing for BBSIZE are used for a disklabel and for some hardware primary and
     secondary bootstrapping programs.

     The actual file system begins at sector SBLOCK with the super-block that
     is of size SBLOCKSIZE.  The following structure describes the super-block
     and is from the file <ufs/ffs/fs.h>:

     /*
      * Super block for an FFS filesystem.
      */
     struct fs {
	     int32_t  fs_firstfield;	/* historic filesystem linked list, */
	     int32_t  fs_unused_1;	/*     used for incore super blocks */
	     int32_t  fs_sblkno;	/* offset of super-block in filesys */
	     int32_t  fs_cblkno;	/* offset of cyl-block in filesys */

     Each disk drive contains some number of file systems.  A file system con-
     sists of a number of cylinder groups.  Each cylinder group has inodes and
     data.

     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.

     Addresses stored in inodes are capable of addressing fragments of
     `blocks'.	File system blocks of at most size MAXBSIZE can be optionally
     broken into 2, 4, or 8 pieces, each of which is addressable; these pieces
     may be DEV_BSIZE, or some multiple of a DEV_BSIZE unit.

     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 sys-
     tem 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
     blksize(fs, ip, lbn) macro.

     The file system records space availability at the fragment level; to
     determine block availability, aligned fragments are examined.

     The root inode is the root of the file system.  Inode 0 cannot 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).

     The 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 fs_minfree ele-
     ment may be set to 0 if no reserve of free blocks is deemed necessary,
     however severe performance degradations will be observed if the file sys-
     tem is run at greater than 90% full; thus the default value of fs_minfree
     is 10%.

     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.

     The element fs_optim specifies whether the file system should try to min-
     imize the time spent allocating blocks, or if it should attempt to mini-
     mize 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.

     Cylinder group related limits: Each cylinder keeps track of the avail-
     ability 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.

     The element fs_old_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 fs_old_rotdelay is 2ms.

     Each file system has a statically allocated number of inodes.  An inode
     is allocated for each NBPI bytes of disk space.  The inode allocation
     strategy is extremely conservative.

     MINBSIZE is the smallest allowable block size.  With a MINBSIZE of 4096
     it is possible to create files of size 2^32 with only two levels of indi-
     rection.  MINBSIZE must be big enough to hold a cylinder group block,
     thus changes to (struct cg) must keep its size within MINBSIZE.  Note
     that super-blocks are never more than size SBLOCKSIZE.

     The path name on which the file system is mounted is maintained in
     fs_fsmnt.	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 MAXCSBUFS.  For a 4096 byte block size, it is
     currently parameterized for a maximum of two million cylinders.

     Per cylinder group information is summarized in blocks allocated from the
     first cylinder group's data blocks.  These blocks are read in from
     fs_csaddr (size fs_cssize) in addition to the super-block.

     N.B.: sizeof(struct csum) must be a power of two in order for the fs_cs()
     macro to work.

     The 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 SBLOCKSIZE.
     The size of these tables is 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 (fs_cpc).  The size of the rota-
     tional layout tables is derived from the number of bytes remaining in
     (struct fs).

     The number of blocks of data per cylinder group is limited because cylin-
     der 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 (struct cg).

     The Inode: The inode is the focus of all file activity in the UNIX 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.  For further information,
     see the include file <ufs/ufs/inode.h>.
