Hash: SHA1

These days, when I read the source code of mke2fs, I found an option -f
to set the fragment size.

But I can not find any explaining for ext3/4 framgment from google,
excepting someone saying ext2/3 does not support this feature.

Can anyone tell me what is the function or purpose of fragment of ext
file system ?

Thanks in advance :-)
