Package: xfsdump Version: 2.2.38-1 Severity: wishlist
Having a simple cron script to run xfs_fsr would be VERY nice! I have a huge (? :) filesystem (2.6Tb) and a couple of days ago I got the 'No space left on device' error even though I had 768Gb free. I immediately realized that it was a INode problem. Looking through the 'Net, a defrag should help with this... This filesystem is (was) very fragmented (85.86%). The defrag have now been running for about 24 hours, and the frag is now down to 68.35% which is STILL to much! This is going to take _a lot of time_! This filesystem have grown over time (LVM over MD or is it the other way around? - physical disk, in MD arrays and then the MD's in a LVM). It whould have been nice if the defrag whould have been run from the start... And since it's no risk in running xfs_fsr on a system that doesn't have XFS, a default cron script whould be nice... ? If you don't want to directly enable this, just ship the cronscript with the xfs_fsr command commented out. Or just put a couple of notes in the README. Not that it whould have helped me (or most people) - who reads documentations these days!? :) If it works, why bother :). ----- s n i p ----- [celia.pts/3]$ cat /etc/cron.daily/xfs #!/bin/sh # Run a XFS defrag for two hours (default) every day... xfs_fsr ----- s n i p ----- I currently have the xfs_fsr commented out because I'm running it manually and verbosely but will enable it as soon as that is done.
