Subject: extent counting fun
Date: Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:24:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C323184.8020401@redhat.com> (raw)
[root@host ~]# filefrag -B /mnt/test/file
/mnt/test/file: 34 extents found
[root@host ~]# filefrag /mnt/test/file
/mnt/test/file: 1058 extents found, perfection would be 1 extent
Hum, is it 34 or 1058? :)
Older filefrag counted contiguous metadata as part of a contiguous
extent... newer filefrag works in fiemap query-only mode by default,
and just takes what fiemap tells it. The inconsistency is weird
though, and led to a Red Hat bug that I'm inclined to NOTABUG... but
do people think this needs to be made any more consistent?
Should we hack ext3_fiemap() to include the checks for contiguous
metadata? Or was that too shady/clever to start with ...? :)
