I found your comment about ext4 online defrag on Ubuntu BBS by accident.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/321528

I would like to address this problem so I ran e4defrag on the system
which was under memory pressure. But unfortunately I could not find the bug.
If you have already known how to reproduce this kind of problem,
could you teach me how?

Regards,
Akira Fujita
