Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply.


Actually I am new to file system, I did work in memory management of Linux kernel. My concern is to understand file system, block architecture etc. I started reading, but wanted to do some implementation.


Thanks
Shyam

If you don't care if it gets accepted by mainline, then backporting
the ext4 online defragger to ext3/ext2 seems to me like an interesting
project.  Those are too mature I think to have a something as big a
online defragger accepted.  You might get a distro or two to pick up a
patch like that add in during their packaging process.

The ext4 patch is not yet in mainline, so you can see exactly what
changes are needed for it to work with ext4.

It also looks like most of Akira Fujita's kernel posts have primarily
related to this one patchset, so you can also sort of see how the
patchset evolved over the course of the last year.
