Linux FileSystem Internal Buffer size:

GloriousDaisy · #1 (**permalink**) 09-23-2008

I know that Univ FileSystem stores all file data in the form of first few direct nodes followed by indirect nodes. But internally some systems implement where , a single block of 4096 isnt allocated alone a single block basis on physical drive, rather a large chunk of data is allocated and no. of blocks reside on it. This way they achieve efficieny in data read/write. This buffer contain blocks, can you anyone let me know the way to know that buffer size???? any ideas?

What is Fixed size disk block in Unix?
