Re: XFS defragment

not all xfs_db commands result in a segfault, oddly enough.

sudo xfs_db -r /dev/sda6 -c 'freesp'
works just fine..

/me scratches head..

Re: XFS defragment

Hi,

According to http://www.opensuse.org/SUPER
XFS provides "fast algorithm and online defragmentation"

1.

I just read http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

=>

Online Administration

XFS supports filesystem growth for mounted volumes, allows filesystem "freeze" and "thaw" operations to support volume level snapshots, and provides an online file defragmentation utility.

2.

"fast algorithm "

compile XFS with
XFS noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8 + mkfs.xfs -d agcount=45 -l size=64m

The question arises: "Are all those nifty things already included in Archlinux´s XFS binaries ?

Re: XFS defragment

I found it odd that so many people here complained about XFS and fragmenting as I've used it for years and I've never had a problems, which is more than I can say for EXT3 or ReiserFS

The package is still broken btw.

Re: XFS defragment

w00t. The patch suggested in the bugtracker, has fixed the package for me.
details here: Bugtracker link

My packaged version of the fix here: xfsprogs-2.7.3-2.pkg.tar.gz

You attatched frag.patch, but where is compile-fix.patch?

Re: XFS defragment

this is an old thread, i know...
but xfs_db segfaults here as well... only on my /home partition :

# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/hdb2
Segmentation fault
# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/hda2
actual 237060, ideal 236047, fragmentation factor 0.43%

it worked yesterday, prompting for about 25% fragmentation.
