Another way of looking at this is that you have about 10 extents per file on average. Depending on the size of the files, this may be perfectly fine. Is, for example, a 10G file in ten 1G extents really a problem? I doubt that fragmentation is your performance problem here. -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
