本文主要是介绍EXT4文件系统学习（10）VFS之磁盘结构Group和superblock，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！
direntry建立了各级目录和文件之间的联系，inode建立了文件与数据之间联系，但这还不够，还需要记录inode和数据块从哪里开始从哪里结束，以及哪些是空闲的，这样才能正确的分配文件。
Group
块组是一个逻辑概念，把一个分区分成若干个组，用来限制文件的数据块不要过于散落，尽量保证一个文件的数据块在一个组，这样可以提高读写效率，
格式化一个ext4文件系统后在磁盘上的结构：
Group 0: (Blocks 1-8192)Primary superblock at 1, Group descriptors at 2-2Reserved GDT blocks at 3-246Block bitmap at 247 (+246)Inode bitmap at 251 (+250)Inode table at 255-499 (+254)5481 free blocks, 1916 free inodes, 7 directoriesFree blocks: 1268-2657, 2866-4096, 5327-6112, 6119-8192Free inodes: 39, 46-1960超级块
超级块记录着一个分区的整体信息，有多少inode，多少个组，多少个block数据块，多少个空闲块。
Group descriptors组描述符记录了这个组中的inode数量，空闲块数量等信息。
Block bitmap是数据块的位图，记录着数据块的状态。
Inode bitmap是inode的位图，记录着inode的状态。
磁盘超级块结构如下：
/** Structure of the super block*/
struct ext4_super_block {
/*00*/ __le32 s_inodes_count; /* Inodes count */inode总数量__le32 s_blocks_count_lo; /* Blocks count */block总数量__le32 s_r_blocks_count_lo; /* Reserved blocks count */预留block总数量__le32 s_free_blocks_count_lo; /* Free blocks count */空闲block总数量

};ext4_super_block与磁盘上面的超级块数据基本是对应的，可直接读出到结构体内存。
组描述符在磁盘上的格式如下：
/** Structure of a blocks group descriptor*/
struct ext4_group_desc
{__le32 bg_block_bitmap_lo; /* Blocks bitmap block */表示bmap在这个组的那一块__le32 bg_inode_bitmap_lo; /* Inodes bitmap block */表示imap在这个组的那一块__le32 bg_inode_table_lo; /* Inodes table block */这个组的inode所在起始块号__le16 bg_free_blocks_count_lo;/* Free blocks count */空闲块数量__le16 bg_free_inodes_count_lo;/* Free inodes count */空闲inode数量__le16 bg_used_dirs_count_lo; /* Directories count */__le16 bg_flags; /* EXT4_BG_flags (INODE_UNINIT, etc) */__le32 bg_exclude_bitmap_lo; /* Exclude bitmap for snapshots */__le16 bg_block_bitmap_csum_lo;/* crc32c(s_uuid+grp_num+bbitmap) LE */__le16 bg_inode_bitmap_csum_lo;/* crc32c(s_uuid+grp_num+ibitmap) LE */__le16 bg_itable_unused_lo; /* Unused inodes count */__le16 bg_checksum; /* crc16(sb_uuid+group+desc) */__le32 bg_block_bitmap_hi; /* Blocks bitmap block MSB */__le32 bg_inode_bitmap_hi; /* Inodes bitmap block MSB */__le32 bg_inode_table_hi; /* Inodes table block MSB */__le16 bg_free_blocks_count_hi;/* Free blocks count MSB */__le16 bg_free_inodes_count_hi;/* Free inodes count MSB */__le16 bg_used_dirs_count_hi; /* Directories count MSB */__le16 bg_itable_unused_hi; /* Unused inodes count MSB */__le32 bg_exclude_bitmap_hi; /* Exclude bitmap block MSB */__le16 bg_block_bitmap_csum_hi;/* crc32c(s_uuid+grp_num+bbitmap) BE */__le16 bg_inode_bitmap_csum_hi;/* crc32c(s_uuid+grp_num+ibitmap) BE */__u32 bg_reserved;
};组描述符占用64字节，一个块占用4KB，所以每个组里面的组描述符块保存了所有组描述符。应该是为了防止数据损坏进行修复使用。
超级块的备份会在2n-1的组里面，防止数据损坏进行修复。
