"- 8" in EXT2_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When looking at the maximal filesystem size issue, I found myself
wondering what the "- 8" is in here, it's not commented
or documented anywhere:

#define EXT2_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(s)    (((1 << 16) - 8) *      \
                                          (EXT2_CLUSTER_SIZE(s) / \
                                           EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(s)))


(pre-bigalloc, it was just ((1 << 16) - 8) )

Anyone know?
