From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: kai@gnukai.com (Kai Meyer) Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:08:51 -0600 Subject: Filesystem allocation bitmap Message-ID: <4E68E893.6090204@gnukai.com> To: kernelnewbies@lists.kernelnewbies.org List-Id: kernelnewbies.lists.kernelnewbies.org Is there a generic filesystem method to retrieve the filesystem's allocation bitmap? I'm mostly interested in Ext filesystems, so if there's nothing generic, I'm happy with a specific solution for just Ext. If the answer is "read https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout and then read the bitmaps directly from disk", I think I can deal with that too. -Kai Meyer
