From c652e4efb8e2dd76ef1627d8cd649c6af5905902 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 13:51:52 -0500 Subject: mkfs: change default metadata blocksize to 16KB 16KB is faster and leads to less metadata fragmentation in almost all workloads. It does slightly increase lock contention on the root nodes in some workloads, but that is best dealt with by adding more subvolumes (for now). This uses 16KB or the page size, whichever is bigger. If you're doing a mixed block group mkfs, it uses the sectorsize instead. Since the kernel refuses to mount a mixed block group FS where the metadata leaf size doesn't match the data sectorsize, this also adds a similar check during mkfs.
