1What: /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_stats
2Date: March 2008
3Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
4Description:
5 Controls whether the multiblock allocator should
6 collect statistics, which are shown during the unmount.
7 1 means to collect statistics, 0 means not to collect
8 statistics

11Date: March 2008
12Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
13Description:
14 The multiblock allocator will round up allocation
15 requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if the
16 stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock

19Date: March 2008
20Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
21Description:
22 The maximum number of extents the multiblock allocator
23 will search to find the best extent

26Date: March 2008
27Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
28Description:
29 The minimum number of extents the multiblock allocator
30 will search to find the best extent

33Date: March 2008
34Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
35Description:
36 Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size for
37 requests (as a power of 2) where the buddy cache is
38 used

41Date: March 2008
42Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
43Description:
44 Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
45 parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
46 block group specific preallocation pool, so that small
47 files are packed closely together. Each large file
48 will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
49 preallocation pool.

54Description:
55 Tuning parameter which controls the maximum number of
56 inode table blocks that ext4's inode table readahead
57 algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache
