Description
Not only Lustre OST, but also when OSS mounts large OST device which 'bigalloc' is enabled, it takes huge amount of time to complete.

To answer my own question, the bigalloc patches are on the master branch of the e2fsprogs repo, but not in the maint branch for 1.45.6.

>it looks ldiskfs_get_group_desc() and ldiskfs_calculate_overhead() are taking most of CPU cycle a long while during mount.
only once and store to super block for later use.

it's know problem. bitmaps on e2fsprogs isn't good designed in case word have a several bits set, replace with IDR (from kernel) can improve speed dramatically.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to post an email to linux-ext4 with this information. Maybe we can get some input on how to fix it, or Ted will "just know" the best way to fix the problem.
Patch was landed upstream for 1.46 via commit 59037c5357d39c6d0f14a0aff70e67dc13eafc84
