I am trying to experiment with tracks and blocks. I was searching for a filesystem that still supports 512b as block size | |
and came across xfs. | |
I tried to chose the block size as 512b but it is defaulting to 4096 everytime. | |
I know that many filesystem (or may be all) adjust the block size based on the size of partition but could not get much | |
information that what is the partition when such transitions happen. | |
Partition size assigned with 'fdisk' : 200M | |
<pre>meta-data=/dev/sdb isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=15630336 blks | |
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 | |
= crc=0 finobt=0, sparse=0, rmapbt=0 | |
= reflink=0 | |
data = bsize=512 blocks=62521344, imaxpct=25 | |
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks | |
naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0, ftype=1 | |
log =internal log bsize=512 blocks=30528, version=2 | |
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 | |
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0</pre> | |
'sudo mkfs -t xfs -f -m crc=0 -b size=512 /dev/sdb' | |
And below block size verification gives: | |
sudo blockdev --getbsz /dev/sdb | |
4096 | |
I am performing this for experimental purpose to learn more about tracks and sectors and corresponding filesystem. | |
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. |
