ok i see!
So when there are like
3/3/4 that means double index blocks?? How many extents can a single extent index hold in a block?

This means that of all the extent-mapped files in the filesystem,
36010 files have an extent tree of depth 0 (i.e. they fit inside the inode)
81 files have an extent tree of depth 1 (i.e. there is a single index block)
Typically, files larger than 4 * 128MB = 512MB need an index block, but if
the maximum-sized extents cannot be allocated then an index block will be needed for smaller files. Only if you have very large files (> 40GB),
or a very fragmented free space would you need more than a single level
of index blocks.
Cheers, Andreas
