NO caveats is changed.
The only visible change is, after convert, metadata are all in SINGLE
profile other than DUP.
The rework is aimed to fix the chunk type mismatch problem.
(A lot of codes just for a workaround-able problem...)

Not sure why 1GB files needs defrag.
I assume it's related to ext* block group size, the default size would
be 128M for each block group, and since each block group will have
metadata as its beginning, splitting large files into 120+M parts.
