xfs_db: defang frag command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Too many people freak out about this fictitious "fragmentation
|
|
|
|
|
factor." As shown in the fact, it is largely meaningless, because
|
|
|
|
|
the number approaches 100% extremely quickly for just a few
|
|
|
|
|
extents per file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I thought about removing it altogether, but perhaps a note
|
|
|
|
|
about its uselessness, and a more soothing metric (avg extents
|
|
|
|
|
per file) might be useful.
