Dear, I'm reading "XFS Filesystem Structure" from the link http://xfs.org/docs/xfsdocs-xml-dev/XFS_Filesystem_Structure//tmp/en-US/html/index.html and confused by one example in section 3.2.3: http://xfs.org/docs/xfsdocs-xml-dev/XFS_Filesystem_Structure//tmp/en-US/html/AG_Free_List.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- xfs_db> fsblock 7 xfs_db> type bnobt xfs_db> p magic = 0x41425442 level = 1 numrecs = 4 leftsib = null rightsib = null keys[1-4] = [startblock,blockcount] 1:[12,16] 2:[184586,3] 3:[225579,1] 4:[511629,1] ptrs[1-4] = 1:2 2:83347 3:6 4:4 Blocks 2, 83347, 6 and 4 contain the leaves for the free space B+tree by starting block. Block 2 would contain offsets 16 up to but not including 184586 while block 4 would have all offsets from 511629 to the end of the AG. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have thought block 2 contains offsets start from 12, and it will cover 16 free blocks. I wonder why block 2 contains offsets start at 16, instead of 12 here? Anyone help give out some explanation, please?
