device. If the device is already formatted, the value from the
superblock is used.
-interleave_sectors:number
+interleave_sectors:number (default 32768)
The number of interleaved sectors. This values is rounded down to
a power of two. If the device is already formatted, the value from
the superblock is used.
Don't interleave the data and metadata on the device. Use a
separate device for metadata.
-buffer_sectors:number
- The number of sectors in one buffer. The value is rounded down to
- a power of two.
+buffer_sectors:number (default 128)
+ The number of sectors in one metadata buffer. The value is rounded
+ down to a power of two.
-journal_watermark:number
+journal_watermark:number (default 50)
The journal watermark in percents. When the size of the journal
exceeds this watermark, the thread that flushes the journal will
be started.
-commit_time:number
+commit_time:number (default 10000)
Commit time in milliseconds. When this time passes, the journal is
written. The journal is also written immediately if the FLUSH
request is received.
the journal. Thus, modified sector number would be detected at
this stage.
-block_size:number
- The size of a data block in bytes. The larger the block size the
+block_size:number (default 512)
+ The size of a data block in bytes. The larger the block size the
less overhead there is for per-block integrity metadata.
- Supported values are 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes. If not

+ Supported values are 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes.
sectors_per_bit:number
In the bitmap mode, this parameter specifies the number of
Each run contains:
* tag area - it contains integrity tags. There is one tag for each
- sector in the data area
+ sector in the data area. The size of this area is always 4KiB or
+ greater.
* data area - it contains data sectors. The number of data sectors
in one run must be a power of two. log2 of this value is stored
in the superblock.
