Subject: what does e2fsck's "non-contiguous" really say?

Message-ID: <46497EFD.6050900@wpkg.org> (raw)
What does e2fsck's "non-contiguous" really say? I always thought it may
give a clue about how a filesystem is fragmented.
However, I had set up a filesystem on a 365 GB RAID-5 array:
/dev/sdao 365G 195M 347G 1% /mnt/1
The filesystem contains only one directory (lost+found).
I ran e2fsck on that filesystem, and it says "9.1% non-contiguous":
# e2fsck -f part
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)

part: 11/48594944 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 1574757/97187200 blocks
"9.1% non-contiguous" - what meaning does it really have?
