Subject: e4defrag doesn't work on root filesystem
Date: Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:48:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AA52B31.5090205@p-static.net> (raw)
Hi,
I'm playing with e4defrag from e2frprogs git, and I've run into a bug.
When I try to defragment files on my root filesystem, it refuses to
acknowledge that the filesystem is ext4. I believe the problem is that
it checks the filesystem type by parsing /etc/mtab, but the root
filesystem shows up there like this:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
so it gets confused by the bogus first entry. It works just fine on
other ext4 filesystems I have.
(If this is the wrong mailing list, I apologize; I couldn't find one for
e2fsprogs, so I thought this was the next best thing.)
