43 | Description: | ||
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. | ||
