+Description:
+ The multiblock allocator will round up allocation
+ requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if the
+ stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock

+Date: March 2008
+Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+ Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
+ parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
+ block group specific preallocation pool, so that small
+ files are packed closely together. Each large file
+ will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
+ preallocation pool.

+ inode table blocks that ext4's inode table readahead
+ algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache

+Date: March 2008
+Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+ This file is read-only and shows the number of blocks
+ that are dirty in the page cache, but which do not
+ have their location in the filesystem allocated yet.
