I try to address it myself first.

I think most of File Systems need this Autodefrag function as the file data is distributed at different unconsecutive blocks after the file systems has been used for a long time. Though ZFS is based on Transaction and Copy-On-Write, some modifications to an existing file will result in this kind of unconsecutive blocks.
Thus some kind of Autodefrag tools would be applicable to ZFS.

Please feel free to comment or correct.

Adam

Hi all,

A simple question: does ZFS need Autodefrag like other File Systems?
