docs: filesystems: ext4: blockgroup.rst: replace some characters
The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause troubles when parsed by the documentation build system. Replace the occurences of the following characters: - U+2217 ('∗'): ASTERISK OPERATOR use ASCII asterisk instead of the ASTERISK OPERATOR Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c5c3c384c48779ca7c9dcd90183cefe20ac82928.1623826294.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

@@ -84,7 +84,7 @@ Without the option META\_BG, for safety concerns, all block group
descriptors copies are kept in the first block group. Given the default
128MiB(2^27 bytes) block group size and 64-byte group descriptors, ext4
can have at most 2^27/64 = 2^21 block groups. This limits the entire

+filesystem size to 2^21 * 2^27 = 2^48bytes or 256TiB.
The solution to this problem is to use the metablock group feature
(META\_BG), which is already in ext3 for all 2.6 releases. With the
