Subject: [PATCH] Tool to report free space fragmentation

Hi,

e2freefrag is a simple tool to report free space fragmentation on
ext2/3/4 filesystems. It a simple tool which goes through the block
bitmap reporting sizes of free chunks. By default chunksize of 1MB is
used, but a different chunksize can be given using a -c option.

It also reports the min/max/avg size of free chunks and a histogram of
all free chunks.

Here is the output of e2freefrag:
[kalpak@...field e2fsprogs-1.40.7]# e2freefrag -c 1024 /dev/sda3
Device: /dev/sda3
Blocksize: 4096 bytes

Total blocks: 2560359
Free blocks: 603234 (23.6%)

Total chunks: 10002
Free chunks: 2074 (20.7%)

Min free chunk: 4 KB 
Max free chunk: 98276 KB
Avg. free chunk: 1952 KB

HISTOGRAM OF FREE CHUNK SIZES:
          Range         Free chunks
    4K...    8K- :         326
    8K...   16K- :         186
   16K...   32K- :         124
