Hi Artem Thanks so much for your help. On 2019/6/6 20:32, Artem Blagodarenko wrote: > Hello Jianchao, > > Not enought input data to give an answer. It depends on mkfs options. For example, if flex_bg option is enabled, then several block groups are tied together as one logical block group; the bitmap spaces and the inode table space in the first block group, so some groups are not totally free just after FS creating. In my environment, there are 16 bgs per flex_bg. The bitmaps and inode table .etc should lay on the first bg of every flex_bg. So I can see there are about 8223 blocks allocated in the 1st bg of every flex_bg. But as you can see in the output of mb_groups, there are some bgs which get allocated about 1024 blocks. I have out figured out what are they for.
