So you are a braver person than I....) Of course... I rescued it a few years ago after debian removed it ( before e4defrag was around ) and got it fixed up to work on modern filesystems and it's hosted at launchpad.net/e2defrag. I break it out every now and again for performance testing since it does a full defrag rather than only files ( maximize large free extents ) and the ability to pack files in a specified order, such as the order they are read during boot. Well, that and I still find the ANSI block map just as fun to watch as when I first used it in the '90s on a 486 with 2mb of ram ;) I really like the algorithm you guys came up with back then for moving blocks from where they are to their optimal position in mostly large sequential chunks and without having to move them more than once. Yea, it's not crash resilient, but it is FAST. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJVYJ9IAAoJENRVrw2cjl5R5+YIAIjUyZ869wMO1LOMpcmjt0Rs XRt2VJHwkT8y1U+STsEeMOOR5TydR+xWyG4ExaoPW+WOzROQNs+vbEH9tQZvBVNm e6BLnKPPAYX392Ar3siufF87ivcGlM3SyQxrZgaj+EIlSpVbOVE6pnx2aSLhPhz5 znXL0sEioK+F/KxHNRfQyAtqPOc/OkJ1l1csanPUJFlEgQEuu4rSgaLvc3e4Y1pO M0b09dqQHLJcGOSn+me22laLKAlTxhZWYkRoJrHielgX7sCukYMe5hEu6Nc/Gzt4 T/rAca/vmM9R5owExrbNydwNExnwZcB0bZT5ZBqU+9U/BwouJalKkGUhsH+zbpE= =ahhy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
