Depends on your definition of fragmentation....

And that one is a bad one ;)

Still, there are a lot of extents - ~1000 to a file - which
will be stressing the btree extent format code.

Sure - just like any other workload that generates enough
extents. Like I said originally, we've fixed so many problems
in this code since 2.6.18 I'd suggest that your only sane
hope for us to help you track done the problem is to upgrade
to a current kernel and go from there....

Cheers,,

Dave.
