It's best to narrow the defragmentation to be limited to a particular subvolume, or directories in that subvolume, rather than all snapshots. Or just enable compression in fstab and don't compress already written things, just let it compress new writes. The autodefrag mount option is a bit different because it's only triggered on small writes less than 64KiB, either inserts or appends into an existing file. The target extent size is 128KiB which is also the max compression block size. So as a file is modified with this write pattern, it's already unsharing any shared extents from snapshots or reflinks. Since the whole file isn't (re)defragmented every time autodefrag is triggered by the write pattern, it's not going to add much (if at all) to unsharing extents. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
