那些介绍ext2特征的套话我就不说了,任何一本靠谱的linux教程中都可以找到,我们直接单刀直入,开始探索。
首先生成一个ext2文件系统。我在我磁盘空间有限的Ubuntu中,划出500M的空间来从头学习ext2 文件系统。
dd命令用来创建一个文件,不多说了,通过执行这个dd命令生成了一个全零的大小为512000*1KB的文件,即500MB 的文件。
losetup是设定循环设备(loop service)的,循环设备可以将文件模拟成块设备。然后在块设备上建立我们的ext2文件系统,来进行我们的学习。所以下面用mke2fs命令将loop设备格式化成ext2文件系统。 Oh,yeah,我们终于有了ext2文件系统。
这里需要强调下,我们调用了mke2fs的默认选项其中:

下面这张图是经典的ext2文件系统的结构图。网上到处可以找到这种类似的图片,但是我非要画这个图片的原因是为了澄清2个问题:
1 并不是所有的块组都有超级块和快组描述符。
2 块组描述符GDT并不是只管理自己这个块组的信息,相反,它管理的是所有的块组的信息。
(inode表和数据块的个数不一定相等,我这个图画多少有点问题)
我们知道,超级块是很重要的,因为它告诉了linux 这个块设备是怎样组织的,它告诉linux我这个文件系统是什么文件系统,每个块的大小是多大(1024、2048 or 4096),每个块组有多少个块,inode占多少个字节。等等的信息。正是因为超级块很重要,所以我们不能将这些信息只保存1份。试想一下,如果超级块坏掉了,而我们只有一个块组有超级块,那么就彻底完蛋了,后面接近500M的空间及里面的数据我们都没办法获得了。这是比较容易理解的。但是,是不是每个块组都要有启动块呢。这就没必要了,这也有点空间浪费。那到底把超级块放到那些块组呢?

- 8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729, 204801, 221185, 401409
怎么计算出来的,为什么非要存在这些块组?计算规则是3 5 和7的幂,这样的块组保存超级块。
解释块组描述符之前我们先看下超级块的相关信息:

最左边一列是地址,16进制。000400=1K,换句话说,就是文件第1K个字节。000800 =2K,这就是我们朝思暮想的超级块啊。我很激动,所以把整个超级块都贴上了,幸好我不是靠字数来骗稿费的人,否则咱得被鄙视死。
再把ext2超级块的数据结构贴上,咱挨个字段比较比较,看看debugfs说的对不?
- struct ext2_super_block {
- __u32 s_inodes_count;
- __u32 s_blocks_count;
- __u32 s_r_blocks_count;
- __u32 s_free_blocks_count;
- __u32 s_free_inodes_count;
- __u32 s_first_data_block;
- __u32 s_log_block_size;
- ...
- }
OK,是little-endian咱就明白了,不就是0x0001f410嘛 。 0x0001f410=128016,看看debugfs给我们的数据,Inode count: 128016,一模一样。
再举个例子,比如,我们关心free_blocks_count,查看数据结构,free_blocks_count字段起始位置是超级块的第12字节。即00040c地址。看下的 d6 87 07 00。计算以下可以得到0x000787d6 = 493526,和debugfs 的Free blocks给出的一样。OK。看管关心什么字段,可以自己查看。通过和超级块赤裸想见,我们知道了ext2 super block的结构。
最后总结一句,不是所有的块组都有超级块,超级块只占1个block块,没错,当blocksize为4K的时候,这个块大多数空间是浪费的。不过还好,毕竟超级块个数有限,浪费不了多少
。
下面讲述 块组描述符:
组描述符一共32个字节,大多数的教材都会给我们一组误解,就是每个块组,都要有组描述符。事实上并不是这样。我们知道,一个组描述符只占32字节,而大多数的教材都会告诉我们,一个块组里面的组描述符占k个块,一个组描述符是用不了这么多空间的。
真相只有一个,就是所有的组描述符以数组的形式存放在k个块中。也就是说,某个块组可能没有组描述符,而有组描述符的块组,k个block中存放了所有组块的组描述符。下面我来证实:
- struct ext2_group_desc
- {
- __u32 bg_block_bitmap; /* Blocks bitmap block */
- __u32 bg_inode_bitmap; /* Inodes bitmap block */
- __u32 bg_inode_table; /* Inodes table block */

- __u16 bg_free_inodes_count; /* Free inodes count */

- __u16 bg_itable_unused; /* Unused inodes count */
- __u16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(s_uuid+grouo_num+group_desc)*/

各位看官可以自己解析任何一个块组的相关信息,可以证明和debugfs出来的块组的信息是一致的
。现在我们确定了,组描述符以数组的形式存储在K个快上,对于我们只有63个组块,每个组块需要32个字节,只需要2个1KB的block就足够了。这就是说,其实组描述符和超级块一样,其实是冗余的。也就是说,其他存储组描述符的两个block,信息和块组0中的组描述符的两个block是一样的。下面我来证明。
块组25也有组描述符块,204802和204803两个块,记录了63个块组的组描述符信息。内容应该和前面的块组0的两个块一致。我已经取出了这两个block的内容,大家自己比较吧,结果是内容是一样的。

最后,最后的最后,解释以下,为什么每个块组中的块数blocks per group 是8192,因为,我们用1个块作为位图保存本块组 block的使用情况(bit为1表示对应的block被使用,bit为0表示对应的block空闲),1个block是1024字节,共有1024*8=8192个bit,所以,每个块组最多只能是81292个块。
同样道理如果用户使用的是4094大小的块,那么,4096*8=32768个bit,所以每个块组会有32K个块。证据在下面。
