S= ome times=20 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=20 defrag image sequences to get them in sequence, specifically: "Patches related to relevant file defrag (e4defrag -r) are under review= =2E" Also, about free space defrag, it says: "Implement free space defragmentation (e4defrag -f). We might implement= this=20 feature when the relevant defrag development is completed." Both of these, but especially relevant file defrag, would be very usefu= l to=20 solve the problems I'm facing. What happened to the patches that were u= nder=20 review? Was anything done? Was development of these features abandoned?= Is there=20 any chance of any of them being implemented in the relatively near futu= re? --=20 Joakim Ziegler - Supervisor de postproducci=F3n - Terminal joakim@terminalmx.com - 044 55 2971 8514 - 5264 0864 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
