https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209039 Bug ID: 209039 Summary: xfs_fsr skips most of the files as no improvement will be made Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.19.107-Unraid Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: XFS Assignee: filesystem_xfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: marc@xxxxxxx Regression: No I checked the fragmentation factor of disk1 as follows: xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/md1 actual 1718, ideal 674, fragmentation factor 60.77% Note, this number is largely meaningless. Files on this filesystem average 2.55 extents per file I tried to defrag disk1: xfs_fsr /dev/md1 -v -d /mnt/disk1 start inode=0 ino=133 ino=133 extents=4 can_save=3 tmp=/mnt/disk1/.fsr/ag0/tmp23917 DEBUG: fsize=30364684107 blsz_dio=16773120 d_min=512 d_max=2147483136 pgsz=4096 Temporary file has 4 extents (4 in original) No improvement will be made (skipping): ino=133 ino=135 ino=135 extents=4 can_save=3 tmp=/mnt/disk1/.fsr/ag1/tmp23917 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 0 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 296 orig forkoff 288, temp forkoff 288 set temp attr DEBUG: fsize=28400884827 blsz_dio=16773120 d_min=512 d_max=2147483136 pgsz=4096 Temporary file has 4 extents (4 in original) No improvement will be made (skipping): ino=135 ino=138 ... This means the file would still consist of 4 parts across the hdd platter after defragmentation and because of that it's skipped. But why isn't it able to merge the parts of this and hundreds of other files?
