Understand your numbers. What frag reports is how many extents there
are vs a perfect layout. It does not tell you how badly fragmented

because the extents are large enough not to affect IO throughput.
Hi Dave,
I think I almost got that now.
But, at which numbers should I look at before starting a defrag then?
Up to now, I ran always "echo frag | xfs_db -r /dev/..." to get a
"number" that could tell me if starting a xfs_fsr was necessary.
At which other numbers should I look at to see if running a xfs_fsr
defrag is necessary or not?
Many thanks,
Richard
