This is a little C-program that can be used to print out the list
|
|
of blocks used by a requested list of inodes.
|
|
|
|
For example, to list the blocks referenced by your kernel:
|
|
|
|
guest_12 % df /
|
|
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
|
|
/dev/gpt/rootfs 20307196 10707336 7975288 57% /
|
|
|
|
guest_12 % ls -i /boot/kernel/kernel
|
|
160603 /boot/kernel/kernel
|
|
|
|
guest_12 % ./prtblknos /dev/gpt/rootfs 160603
|
|
160603: lbn 0-7 blkno 3217584-3217647
|
|
lbn 8-11 blkno 3217864-3217895 distance 216
|
|
First-level indirect, blkno 3217896-3217903 distance 0
|
|
lbn 12-19 blkno 3217904-3217967 distance 8
|
|
lbn 20-75 blkno 3251816-3252263 distance 33848
|
|
lbn 76-83 blkno 3252368-3252431 distance 104
|
|
lbn 84-91 blkno 3252464-3252527 distance 32
|
|
lbn 92-852 blkno 3252896-3258983 distance 368
|
|
|
|
Each contiguous range of blocks is printed on a line.
|
|
The distance metric is the size of the gap from the end of the
|
|
previous set of blocks to the beginning of the next set of blocks.
|
|
Short distances are desirable.
|
|
|
|
The logical block numbers (lbn above) describe filesystem-block
|
|
size blocks which by today's default is 32Kb.
|
|
|
|
The physical block numbers (blkno above) describe the smallest piece
|
|
of disk space that an inode can reference which is a filesystem
|
|
fragment. Since the default size for fragments today is 4Kb, the
|
|
physical block numbers reference 4Kb blocks. The distances listed
|
|
above are also in physical block size units. Thus a distance of 8
|
|
means a separation of just one 32Kb block. For example lbn 11, ends
|
|
at 3217895, the 32Kb first level indirect immediately follows it at
|
|
3217896-3217903, and lbn 12 starts distance 8 after lbn 11 immediately
|
|
after the indirect block at 3217904.
|
|
|
|
If you were to create a filesystem with the fragment size equal to
|
|
half the block size (say 32Kb blocks with 16Kb fragments) then the
|
|
physical block numbers listed would be 16Kb in size.
