Hi all,

This is my first post to the list. I want to add online defrag support
to ext2/3/4 just to scratch an itch.

I've searched the archives and googled around, and I've come to the
following conclusions:
*An offline defrag tool is available but dangerous.
*Some patches exist that provide preliminary support for online defrag
in the ext3 driver, but interest in improving/integrating these patches
is low.
*An implementation of an ext* filesystem driver can work with any
ext2/3/4 filesystem as long as it supports the necessary revision
(GOOD_OLD_REV or DYNAMIC_REV) and feature flags set in the filesystem.

Please let me know if any of my assumptions are incorrect.


Thanks,

Eric Anopolsky
