SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 2 3Super Block 4----------- 5 6The superblock records various information about the enclosing 7filesystem, such as block counts, inode counts, supported features, 8maintenance information, and more. 9 10If the sparse_super feature flag is set, redundant copies of the 11superblock and group descriptors are kept only in the groups whose group 12number is either 0 or a power of 3, 5, or 7. If the flag is not set, 13redundant copies are kept in all groups. 14 15The superblock checksum is calculated against the superblock structure, 16which includes the FS UUID. 17 18The ext4 superblock is laid out as follows in 19``struct ext4_super_block``: 20 21.. list-table:: 22 :widths: 8 8 24 40 23 :header-rows: 1 24 25 * - Offset 26 - Size 27 - Name 28 - Description 29 * - 0x0 30 - __le32 31 - s_inodes_count 32 - Total inode count. 33 * - 0x4 34 - __le32 35 - s_blocks_count_lo 36 - Total block count. 37 * - 0x8 38 - __le32 39 - s_r_blocks_count_lo 40 - This number of blocks can only be allocated by the super-user. 41 * - 0xC 42 - __le32 43 - s_free_blocks_count_lo 44 - Free block count. 45 * - 0x10 46 - __le32 47 - s_free_inodes_count 48 - Free inode count. 49 * - 0x14 50 - __le32 51 - s_first_data_block 52 - First data block.

This implies a very large file 690 indeed! (RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE) 691 * - 0x10 692 - Group descriptors have checksums. In addition to detecting corruption, 693 this is useful for lazy formatting with uninitialized groups 694 (RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM). 695 * - 0x20 696 - Indicates that the old ext3 32,000 subdirectory limit no longer applies 697 (RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK). A directory's i_links_count will be set to 1 698 if it is incremented past 64,999. 699 * - 0x40 700 - Indicates that large inodes exist on this filesystem 701 (RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE). 702 * - 0x80 703 - This filesystem has a snapshot (RO_COMPAT_HAS_SNAPSHOT). 704 * - 0x100 705 - `Quota <Quota>`__ (RO_COMPAT_QUOTA). 706 * - 0x200 707 - This filesystem supports “bigalloc”, which means that file extents are 708 tracked in units of clusters (of blocks) instead of blocks 709 (RO_COMPAT_BIGALLOC). 710 * - 0x400 711 - This filesystem supports metadata checksumming. 712 (RO_COMPAT_METADATA_CSUM; implies RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM, though 713 GDT_CSUM must not be set) 714 * - 0x800 715 - Filesystem supports replicas. This feature is neither in the kernel nor 716 e2fsprogs. (RO_COMPAT_REPLICA) 717 * - 0x1000 718 - Read-only filesystem image; the kernel will not mount this image 719 read-write and most tools will refuse to write to the image. 720 (RO_COMPAT_READONLY) 721 * - 0x2000 722 - Filesystem tracks project quotas. (RO_COMPAT_PROJECT) 723 * - 0x8000 724 - Verity inodes may be present on the filesystem. (RO_COMPAT_VERITY) 725 * - 0x10000 726 - Indicates orphan file may have valid orphan entries and thus we need 727 to clean them up when mounting the filesystem 728 (RO_COMPAT_ORPHAN_PRESENT). 729 730.. _super_def_hash: 731 732The ``s_def_hash_version`` field is one of the following: 733 734.. list-table:: 735 :widths: 8 72 736 :header-rows: 1 737 738 * - Value 739 - Description 740 * - 0x0 741 - Legacy. 742 * - 0x1 743 - Half MD4. 744 * - 0x2 745 - Tea. 746 * - 0x3 747 - Legacy, unsigned. 748 * - 0x4 749 - Half MD4, unsigned. 750 * - 0x5 751 - Tea, unsigned. 752 753.. _super_mountopts: 754 755The ``s_default_mount_opts`` field is any combination of the following: 756 757.. list-table:: 758 :widths: 8 72 759 :header-rows: 1 760 761 * - Value 762 - Description 763 * - 0x0001 764 - Print debugging info upon (re)mount. (EXT4_DEFM_DEBUG) 765 * - 0x0002 766 - New files take the gid of the containing directory (instead of the fsgid 767 of the current process). (EXT4_DEFM_BSDGROUPS) 768 * - 0x0004 769 - Support userspace-provided extended attributes. (EXT4_DEFM_XATTR_USER) 770 * - 0x0008 771 - Support POSIX access control lists (ACLs). (EXT4_DEFM_ACL) 772 * - 0x0010 773 - Do not support 32-bit UIDs. (EXT4_DEFM_UID16) 774 * - 0x0020 775 - All data and metadata are commited to the journal. 776 (EXT4_DEFM_JMODE_DATA) 777 * - 0x0040 778 - All data are flushed to the disk before metadata are committed to the 779 journal. (EXT4_DEFM_JMODE_ORDERED) 780 * - 0x0060 781 - Data ordering is not preserved; data may be written after the metadata 782 has been written. (EXT4_DEFM_JMODE_WBACK) 783 * - 0x0100 784 - Disable write flushes. (EXT4_DEFM_NOBARRIER) 785 * - 0x0200 786 - Track which blocks in a filesystem are metadata and therefore should not 787 be used as data blocks. This option will be enabled by default on 3.18, 788 hopefully. (EXT4_DEFM_BLOCK_VALIDITY) 789 * - 0x0400 790 - Enable DISCARD support, where the storage device is told about blocks 791 becoming unused. (EXT4_DEFM_DISCARD) 792 * - 0x0800 793 - Disable delayed allocation. (EXT4_DEFM_NODELALLOC) 794 795.. _super_flags: 796 797The ``s_flags`` field is any combination of the following: 798 799.. list-table:: 800 :widths: 8 72 801 :header-rows: 1 802 803 * - Value 804 - Description 805 * - 0x0001 806 - Signed directory hash in use. 807 * - 0x0002 808 - Unsigned directory hash in use. 809 * - 0x0004 810 - To test development code. 811 812.. _super_encrypt: 813 814The ``s_encrypt_algos`` list can contain any of the following: 815 816.. list-table:: 817 :widths: 8 72 818 :header-rows: 1 819 820 * - Value 821 - Description 822 * - 0 823 - Invalid algorithm (ENCRYPTION_MODE_INVALID). 824 * - 1 825 - 256-bit AES in XTS mode (ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_256_XTS). 826 * - 2 827 - 256-bit AES in GCM mode (ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_256_GCM). 828 * - 3 829 - 256-bit AES in CBC mode (ENCRYPTION_MODE_AES_256_CBC). 830 831Total size of the superblock is 1024 bytes. 832
