XFS has the only functional/reliable online defrag tool AFAIK. The only 'missing' feature compared to the other FSes is filesystem shrink ability, but for the majority of XFS users, I'm guessing this isn't an issue as data sets are always growing. Some benchmark results maybe worth a look: http://btrfs.boxacle.net/repository/raid/2.6.35-rc5/2.6.35-rc5/ -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
