12 Contact:        "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
13 Description:
14                 The multiblock allocator will round up allocation
15                 requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if the
16                 stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock

21 Description:
22                 The maximum number of extents the multiblock allocator
23                 will search to find the best extent

25 What:           /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_min_to_scan
26 Date:           March 2008
27 Contact:        "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
28 Description:
29                 The minimum number of extents the multiblock allocator
30                 will search to find the best extent

33 Date:           March 2008
34 Contact:        "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
35 Description:
36                 Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size for 
37                 requests (as a power of 2) where the buddy cache is
38                 used
39
40 What:           /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_stream_req
41 Date:           March 2008
42 Contact:        "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
43 Description:
44                 Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
45                 parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
46                 block group specific preallocation pool, so that small
47                 files are packed closely together.  Each large file
48                  will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
49                  preallocation pool.

54 Description:
55                 Tuning parameter which controls the maximum number of
56                 inode table blocks that ext4's inode table readahead
57                 algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache
