supports hardware atomic writes. This is supported in the following two ways:
1. **Single-fsblock Atomic Writes**:
- EXT4's supports atomic write operations with a single filesystem block since
+ EXT4 supports atomic write operations with a single filesystem block since
v6.13. In this the atomic write unit minimum and maximum sizes are both set
to filesystem blocksize.
e.g. doing atomic write of 16KB with 16KB filesystem blocksize on 64KB
The bigalloc feature changes ext4 to allocate in units of multiple filesystem
blocks, also known as clusters. With bigalloc each bit within block bitmap
-represents cluster (power of 2 number of blocks) rather than individual
+represents a cluster (power of 2 number of blocks) rather than individual
filesystem blocks.
EXT4 supports multi-fsblock atomic writes with bigalloc, subject to the
following constraints. The minimum atomic write size is the larger of the fs
filesystem's maximum atomic write unit size.
