NAME
fs_ufs, inode_ufs, inode - format of a ufs file system
volume
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/fs/ufs_fs.h>
#include <sys/fs/ufs_inode.h>
DESCRIPTION
Standard UFS file system storage volumes have a common for-
mat for certain vital information. Every volume is divided
into a certain number of blocks. The block size is a parame-
ter of the file system. Sectors 0 to 15 contain primary and
secondary bootstrapping programs.
The actual file system begins at sector 16 with the super-
block. The layout of the super-block is defined by the
header <sys/fs/ufs_fs.h>.
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.
A file system is described by its super-block, and by the
information in the cylinder group blocks. The super-block
is critical data and is replicated before each cylinder
group block 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 refer-
enced.
fs_clean
fs_clean indicates the state of the file system. The FSCLEAN
state indicates an undamaged, cleanly unmounted file system.
The FSACTIVE state indicates a mounted file system that has
been updated. The FSSTABLE state indicates an idle mounted
file system. The FSFIX state indicates that this fs is
mounted, contains inconsistent file system data and is being
repaired by fsck. The FSBAD state indicates that this file
system contains inconsistent file system data. It is not
necessary to run fsck on any unmounted file systems with a
state of FSCLEAN or FSSTABLE. mount(2) will return ENOSPC if
a UFS file system with a state of FSACTIVE is being mounted
for read-write.
To provide additional safeguard, fs_clean could be trusted
only if fs_state contains a value equal to FSOKAY - fs_time,
where FSOKAY is a constant integer. Otherwise, fs_clean is
treated as though it contains the value of FSACTIVE.
Addresses stored in inodes are capable of addressing frag-
ments 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 exclusively of large data blocks. To
avoid undue wasted disk space, the last data block of a
small file is allocated 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 blksize(fs, ip, lbn) macro.
The file system records space availability at the fragment
level; aligned fragments are examined to determine block
availability.
The root inode is the root of the file system. Inode 0 can-
not 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
lost+found directory is given the next available inode when
it is initially created by mkfs(1M).
fs_minfree
fs_minfree gives the minimum acceptable percentage of file
system blocks which may be free. If the freelist drops below
this level only the super-user may continue to allocate
blocks. fs_minfree 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 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.
fs_optim
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 is less than 10%, then the file sys-
tem defaults to optimizing for space to avoid running out of
full sized blocks. If the value of fs_minfree is greater
than or equal to 10%, fragmentation is unlikely to be prob-
lematical, and the file system defaults to optimizing for
time.
Cylinder group related limits: Each cylinder keeps track of
the availability of blocks at different rotational posi-
tions, so that sequential blocks can be laid out with
minimum rotational latency. fs_nrpos is the number of rota-
tional positions which are distinguished. With the default
fs_nrpos of 8, the resolution of the summary information is
2ms for a typical 3600 rpm drive.
fs_rotdelay
fs_rotdelay gives the minimum number of milliseconds to ini-
tiate 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_rotdelay
varies from drive to drive (see tunefs(1M)).
fs_maxcontig
fs_maxcontig gives the maximum number of blocks, belonging
to one file, that will be allocated contiguously before
inserting a rotational delay.
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 conserva-
tive.
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 indirection. MINBSIZE must be large
enough to hold a cylinder group block, thus changes to
(struct cg) must keep its size within MINBSIZE. Note:
super-blocks are never more than size SBSIZE.
The path name on which the file system is mounted is main-
tained 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 sys-
tem is defined by MAXCSBUFS. It is currently parameterized
for a maximum of two million cylinders.
Per cylinder group information is summarized in blocks allo-
cated from the first cylinder group's data blocks. These
blocks are read in from fs_csaddr (size fs_cssize) in addi-
tion to the super-block.
Note: sizeof (struct csum) must be a power of two in order
for the fs_cs macro to work.
The inode is the focus of all file activity in the file sys-
tem. 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.
