I had written a simple tool "bitmap_manip" with which you can actually
manipulate the number of free chunks and their sizes in a filesystem. It
uses libext2fs to set the bits in block bitmaps thereby leaving the
desired free extents. I had written it to test the allocators
performance.
It can be used as:
./bitmap_manip /dev/sda9 1MA 4 16K 1 12K 3 8K 4 4K 6
This will leave only 1 16K chunk, 3 12K chunks, .... free in the
filesystem. "1MA" 4 will get us 4 1Mb free ALIGNED chunks.
It isn't very beautiful code since it was only used for testing but
maybe it can help.
Thanks,
Kalpak.

/* Manipulate block bitmap directly for mballoc testing */

* ./bitmap_manip /dev/volmballoc/test 16K 1 12K 3 8K 4 4K 6
* This will leave 1 16K chunk, 3 12K chunks, .... in the filesystem specified.
