Subject: RFC: EXT4 Defrag Specification (Draft)
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:11:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B94F771.4010507@josephdwagner.info> (raw)
Hello.
I am very interested in EXT4's defrag capabilities. I haven't been able
to find much documentation on them or even a formal specification for
them. I was hoping to help nudge the process along by drafting the
specification that I have been unable to find.
Please keep in mind that I am a newbie when it comes to kernel
programming. I may be way off on my assumptions or seriously
misinformed, or perhaps you already have a plan and I was simply unable
to find it. Please do not hold it against me. Also, I was hoping to be
further along before posting. However, people were starting to ask
questions, so I figured it was better to post an incomplete draft and
finish it out later.
Please let me know what you think of the draft thus far. Thank you for
your time.
