To reduce performance difficulties due to fragmentation, the block allocator tries very hard to keep each file's blocks within the same group, thereby reducing seek times. The size of a block group is specified in -``sb.s_blocks_per_group`` blocks, though it can also calculated as 8 \* +``sb.s_blocks_per_group`` blocks, though it can also calculated as 8 * ``block_size_in_bytes``. With the default block size of 4KiB, each group will contain 32,768 blocks, for a length of 128MiB. The number of block groups is the size of the device divided by the size of a block group. |
