1、ext2产生的历史
最早的Linux内核是从MINIX系统过渡发展而来的。Linux最早的文件系统就是MINIX文件系统。MINIX文件系统几乎到处都是bug，采用的是16bit偏移量，最大容量为64M，文件名最长为14字符。
Linux内核0.96版本，包含了虚拟文件系统(vitual file system, VFS)，VFS中提供了基础的API用于简化扩展新的文件系统——扩展的文件系统(extended file system, ext)基于VFS API。
1992年Linux发布的0.96内核版本拥有了Linux真正意义上的文件系统——扩展的文件系统(The Extended Filesystem, ext),ext采用虚拟文件系统(virtual file system, VFS)即基础的API接口简化扩展的文件系统添加于内核。ext使得单个文件的最大数据容量可达2G，文件名的最大长度扩展到了255个字符。但是ext中不支持文件访问atime,文件内容修改mtime,文件属性修改iNode中的ctime相互独立的时间戳。
为了解决文件的时间戳问题，1993年Linux 0.99版本内核推出，Linux推出了两种新的文件系统：xiafs和ext2（The Second Extended Filesystem）.ext2的许多设计理念与Berkeley Fast File System相同，具有扩展的理念，在磁盘数据结构中预留了扩展空间，给将来的新版文件系统的留下了扩展空间。
之后，ext2成了VFS API中许多新扩展的测试平台。例如VFS内含的POSIX访问控制协议草案和扩展属性协议最先内嵌于ext2，归功于ext2的易扩展和易于理解的中断机制。到了Linux的2.6.17内核版本，ext2中的文件最大可达2TB。目前，ext2在闪盘和固态硬盘领域其影响仍由于日志文件系统(ext3/ext4)。因为ext2没有ext3那样额外的日志写操作。因为频繁的写操作，会降低磁盘的使用寿命，相反固态硬盘的寿命因此得以延长。闪盘因为在挂载的时候没有访问时间戳atime，寿命也得意延长。

2、ext2文件系统的结构
在磁盘中，ext2文件系统的结构可以用以下图来描述：
注意：以上是一个磁盘分区，第一个block，是系统启动扇区（boot sector），其余的分区空间都给了ext2文件系统，ext2将该磁盘分区分成了若干个块组（block group 0-N）。
以下是ext2数据结构（ext2_fs.h）：

2.1 超级块（Super Blook）
超级块的数据结构如下：
336 /* 337 * Structure of the super block 338 */ 339 struct ext2_super_block { 340 __u32 s_inodes_count; /* Inodes count */ 341 __u32 s_blocks_count; /* Blocks count */ 342 __u32 s_r_blocks_count; /* Reserved blocks count */ 343 __u32 s_free_blocks_count; /* Free blocks count */ 344 __u32 s_free_inodes_count; /* Free inodes count */ 345 __u32 s_first_data_block; /* First Data Block */ 346 __u32 s_log_block_size; /* Block size */ 347 __s32 s_log_frag_size; /* Fragment size */ 348 __u32 s_blocks_per_group; /* # Blocks per group */ 349 __u32 s_frags_per_group; /* # Fragments per group */ 350 __u32 s_inodes_per_group; /* # Inodes per group */ 351 __u32 s_mtime; /* Mount time */ 352 __u32 s_wtime; /* Write time */ 353 __u16 s_mnt_count; /* Mount count */ 354 __s16 s_max_mnt_count; /* Maximal mount count */ 355 __u16 s_magic; /* Magic signature */ 356 __u16 s_state; /* File system state */ 357 __u16 s_errors; /* Behaviour when detecting errors */ 358 __u16 s_minor_rev_level; /* minor revision level */ 359 __u32 s_lastcheck; /* time of last check */ 360 __u32 s_checkinterval; /* max. time between checks */ 361 __u32 s_creator_os; /* OS */ 362 __u32 s_rev_level; /* Revision level */ 363 __u16 s_def_resuid; /* Default uid for reserved blocks */ 364 __u16 s_def_resgid; /* Default gid for reserved blocks */ 365 /* 366 * These fields are for EXT2_DYNAMIC_REV superblocks only. 367 * 368 * Note: the difference between the compatible feature set and 369 * the incompatible feature set is that if there is a bit set 370 * in the incompatible feature set that the kernel doesn't 371 * know about, it should refuse to mount the filesystem. 372 * 373 * e2fsck's requirements are more strict; if it doesn't know 374 * about a feature in either the compatible or incompatible 375 * feature set, it must abort and not try to meddle with 376 * things it doesn't understand... 377 */ 378 __u32 s_first_ino; /* First non-reserved inode */ 379 __u16 s_inode_size; /* size of inode structure */ 380 __u16 s_block_group_nr; /* block group # of this superblock */ 381 __u32 s_feature_compat; /* compatible feature set */ 382 __u32 s_feature_incompat; /* incompatible feature set */ 383 __u32 s_feature_ro_compat; /* readonly-compatible feature set */ 384 __u8 s_uuid[16]; /* 128-bit uuid for volume */ 385 char s_volume_name[16]; /* volume name */ 386 char s_last_mounted[64]; /* directory where last mounted */ 387 __u32 s_algorithm_usage_bitmap; /* For compression */ 388 /* 389 * Performance hints. Directory preallocation should only 390 * happen if the EXT2_COMPAT_PREALLOC flag is on. 391 */ 392 __u8 s_prealloc_blocks; /* Nr of blocks to try to preallocate*/ 393 __u8 s_prealloc_dir_blocks; /* Nr to preallocate for dirs */ 394 __u16 s_padding1; 395 __u32 s_reserved[204]; /* Padding to the end of the block */ 396 };
主要的几项描述有：s_inodes_count / s_blocks_count（该分区inode/block总数），s_free_inodes_count / s_free_blocks_count（该分区空闲inode/block数），s_first_data_block（数据块中的起始块位置），s_log_block_size（块大小），s_blocks_per_group（每个块组的块数），s_magic（魔数）
struct ext2_super_block {
__u32 s_inodes_count; /* Inodes count */
__u32 s_blocks_count; /* Blocks count */
...
__u32 s_free_blocks_count; /* Free blocks count */
__u32 s_free_inodes_count; /* Free inodes count */
__u32 s_first_data_block; /* First Data Block */
__u32 s_log_block_size; /* Block size */
...
__u32 s_blocks_per_group; /* # Blocks per group */
...
__u16 s_magic; /* Magic signature */ # ext2的魔数为0xEF53
...
说明：每个块组中都有一份超级块的拷贝。当文件系统挂载时，通常只有块组0中的超级块（主备份）会被读取，其他的块组中的超级块只是作为备份，以防文件系统的崩溃。
2.2 组描述符表（Group Descriptors Table，GDT）
超级块之后就是组描述符表，是由该分区所有的块的组描述符（Group Descriptor）组成的，每个块组描述符记录了本块组的inode/block bitmap和inode table等。块组描述符数据结构如下所示：
struct ext2_group_desc
{
__u32 bg_block_bitmap; /* Blocks bitmap block */
__u32 bg_inode_bitmap; /* Inodes bitmap block */
__u32 bg_inode_table; /* Inodes table block */
__u16 bg_free_blocks_count; /* Free blocks count */
__u16 bg_free_inodes_count; /* Free inodes count */
__u16 bg_used_dirs_count; /* Directories count */
__u16 bg_pad;
__u32 bg_reserved[3];
};
说明：与超级类似，组描述符表也存在各块组中紧接着超级块，其目的与超级块一样，作为备份，防止文件系统的崩溃。
2.3 块位图和inode位图（block/inode bitmap）
位图（bitmap）是位（bit）的序列，每一个位代表该位图所在块组中的一个特定的数据块（block bitmap）或inode table中一个特定的inode（inode bitmap）。当bit为0时，表示对应的block/inode空闲；为1时，表示已被占用。
位图始终索引其所在的块组，并且block位图和inode位图均为1block大小，从而限制了该块组的大小。例如一般的block大小为1024bytes，因此一个块组总共有1024*8个block。
2.4 inode表（inode table）
inode表由一系列连续的block块组成，每个块中都预定义了一定数量的inode。inode表的起始块位置（块号）存储在组描述符的bg_inode_table字段中。
系统对inode表中的inode进行编号，从1开始，inode的数据结构被定义在ext2_fs.h文件的struct ext2_inode函数中：
214 /* 215 * Structure of an inode on the disk 216 */ 217 struct ext2_inode { 218 __u16 i_mode; /* File mode */ 219 __u16 i_uid; /* Low 16 bits of Owner Uid */ 220 __u32 i_size; /* Size in bytes */ 221 __u32 i_atime; /* Access time */ 222 __u32 i_ctime; /* Creation time */ 223 __u32 i_mtime; /* Modification time */ 224 __u32 i_dtime; /* Deletion Time */ 225 __u16 i_gid; /* Low 16 bits of Group Id */ 226 __u16 i_links_count; /* Links count */ 227 __u32 i_blocks; /* Blocks count */ 228 __u32 i_flags; /* File flags */ 229 union { 230 struct { 231 __u32 l_i_reserved1; 232 } linux1; 233 struct { 234 __u32 h_i_translator; 235 } hurd1; 236 struct { 237 __u32 m_i_reserved1; 238 } masix1; 239 } osd1; /* OS dependent 1 */ 240 __u32 i_block[EXT2_N_BLOCKS];/* Pointers to blocks */ 241 __u32 i_generation; /* File version (for NFS) */ 242 __u32 i_file_acl; /* File ACL */ 243 __u32 i_dir_acl; /* Directory ACL */ 244 __u32 i_faddr; /* Fragment address */ 245 union { 246 struct { 247 __u8 l_i_frag; /* Fragment number */ 248 __u8 l_i_fsize; /* Fragment size */ 249 __u16 i_pad1; 250 __u16 l_i_uid_high; /* these 2 fields */ 251 __u16 l_i_gid_high; /* were reserved2[0] */ 252 __u32 l_i_reserved2; 253 } linux2; 254 struct { 255 __u8 h_i_frag; /* Fragment number */ 256 __u8 h_i_fsize; /* Fragment size */ 257 __u16 h_i_mode_high; 258 __u16 h_i_uid_high; 259 __u16 h_i_gid_high; 260 __u32 h_i_author; 261 } hurd2; 262 struct { 263 __u8 m_i_frag; /* Fragment number */ 264 __u8 m_i_fsize; /* Fragment size */ 265 __u16 m_pad1; 266 __u32 m_i_reserved2[2]; 267 } masix2; 268 } osd2; /* OS dependent 2 */ 269 };
以下是inode数据结构中比较重要的字段：
struct ext2_inode {
__u16 i_mode; /* File type and access rights */
__u16 i_uid; /* Low 16 bits of Owner Uid */
__u32 i_size; /* Size in bytes */
__u32 i_atime; /* Access time */
__u32 i_ctime; /* Creation time */
__u32 i_mtime; /* Modification time */
__u32 i_dtime; /* Deletion Time */
__u16 i_gid; /* Low 16 bits of Group Id */
__u16 i_links_count; /* Links count */
__u32 i_blocks; /* Blocks count */
__u32 i_flags; /* File flags */
...
__u32 i_block[EXT2_N_BLOCKS]; /* Pointers to blocks */
...
};
i_mode字段中包含了文件的类型和文件的访问权限，被定义在宏文件macro (sys/stat.h)中。
| Sign | Type | Macro |
| - | Regular file | S_ISREG(m) |
| d | Directory | S_ISDIR(m) |
| c | Character Device | S_ISCHR(m) |
| b | Block Device | S_ISBLK(m) |
| f | Fifo | S_ISIFO(m) |
| s | Socket | S_ISSOCK(m) |
| l | Symbolic Link | S_ISLNK(m) |
| Domain | Read | Write | Exec | All |
| User | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IXUSR | S_IRWXU |
| Group | S_IRGRP | S_IWGRP | S_IXGRP | S_IRWXG |
| All | S_IROTH | S_IWOTH | S_IXOTH | S_IRWXO |
i_blocks是该inode指向的文件已使用的block数量；指向数据块的指针存储于字段i_block[EXT2_N_BLOCKS]的数组结构中。
变量EXT2_N_BLOCKS定义在ext2_fs.h的第177行中：
174 /*
175 * Constants relative to the data blocks
176 */
177 #define EXT2_NDIR_BLOCKS 12
178 #define EXT2_IND_BLOCK EXT2_NDIR_BLOCKS
179 #define EXT2_DIND_BLOCK (EXT2_IND_BLOCK + 1)
180 #define EXT2_TIND_BLOCK (EXT2_DIND_BLOCK + 1)
181 #define EXT2_N_BLOCKS (EXT2_TIND_BLOCK + 1)
在i_block[]数组中有15个指针，它们所代表的含义如下：
-
i_block[0..11]point directly to the first 12 data blocks of the file. # 序列号0-11的12个元素（指针）指向文件开头的12个数据块 -
i_block[12]points to a single indirect block # 第13号元素指向单索引间接块 -
i_block[13]points to a double indirect block # 第14号元素指向双索引间接块 -
i_block[14]points to a triple indirect block # 第15号元素指向三索引间接块
由此我们可以计算出ext2文件系统单个文件的最大容量（假设block大小为1K），数组i_block[]的长度为32bit/8=4byte：
- 直接索引：12 指针
- 单间接索引：1024/4=256个直接索引，256 指针
- 双间接索引：1024/4=256个单间接索引，256*256 指针
- 三间接索引：1024/4=256个双间接索引，256*256*256 指针
因此可得到12K+256K+64M+16G，即大致为16G。如果block的大小为4K，则文件最大可为4T。（注意：真正决定文件大小的是底层的寄存器，寄存器的位数决定了其寻址的能力）
2.5 inode表中的inode指向的目录文件
inode指向的目录文件需加以注意，我们可以通过测试S_ISDIR(mode) macro来加以识别：
if (S_ISDIR(inode.i_mode)) ...
假设inode指向的块是目录实体/home，目录中的内容包含了一系列的文件名和指向inode表中的对应的，如下图：
目录文件的数据结构如下：
struct ext2_dir_entry_2 {
__u32 inode; /* Inode number */
__u16 rec_len; /* Directory entry length */
__u8 name_len; /* Name length */
__u8 file_type;
char name[EXT2_NAME_LEN]; /* File name */
};
字段file_type总共有0-7可能的值，分别代表： 
目录内容中的各项（实体）的大小是非固定的，大小取决于文件名称的长度。文件名称最大长度为EXT2_NAME_LEN的值，一般为255；文件名称的实际长度存放于字段name_len；rec_len存储的是本目录实体的大小，该字段自然也就决定了下一目录实体的位置了。
Example of EXT2 directory
注意：目录中的inode号，指向的是inode表中的inode，指向data block的是i_block[EXT2_N_BLOCKS]的数组中的指针。
