Message-ID: <53F87552.6050000@terminalmx.com> Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 06:04:50 -0500 From: Joakim Ziegler <joakim@...minalmx.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: What happened to e4defrag relevant file and free space defrag? I'm using ext4 on quite large filesystems, for large image sequences. Some times these file systems fill up, and things get fragmented and a lot slower. When reading this presentation from Linuxcon Japan 2010: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/slides/2010/linuxcon_japan/linuxcon_jp2010_fujita.pdf I see references to "relevant file defrag", which would be useable for me to defrag image sequences to get them in sequence, specifically: "Patches related to relevant file defrag (e4defrag -r) are under review." Also, about free space defrag, it says: "Implement free space defragmentation (e4defrag -f). We might implement this feature when the relevant defrag development is completed." Both of these, but especially relevant file defrag, would be very useful to solve the problems I'm facing. What happened to the patches that were under review? Was anything done? Was development of these features abandoned? Is there any chance of any of them being implemented in the relatively near future? -- Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducción - Terminal joakim@...minalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
