what's wrong with e4defrag that it pretends it reduced th efragments of a file to 1 while in the next "e4defrag -c" (why does that only list 5 files at all) the same file is listed again with the same old frag count?
You might want to examine the actual allocation before and after with "filefrag -v"
which could offer some clues to whether anything was modified by e4defrag.
(I would also suggest that there is no need to defragment a 3-extent 2 megabyte
file, in general.)
it's not a question if it's needed
the point is it pretends "Success: [1/1]" but a following "e4defrag -c" still says "now/best 3/1"
I understand. It seems that your irritation at my parenthetical caused you
to skip over the request for more information from filefrag, though
wehn you call e4defrag *multiple* times it seems to have the expected
result - erratic operations like this are terrible
also why it's operating over files with already only 1 xtend is also a
mircale for me - it takes ages to run it over a folder with some hundret
MB and seems to rewrite each and every file
