Yes, but if the filesystem has 60% fragmentation we are talking close
to a gigabyte needing to be reserved (from my testing with Gergo's
wonderfully fragmented 14G filesystem). That clearly will not work very
well for small filesystems. Ok, I admit I really don't want to support
small filesystems anyway, personally I think ~50G is the minimum
reasonable size for a HAMMER filesystem. But I know in my heart that
people are going to want to use HAMMER on smaller filesystems so I am
pushing to make it work as well as possible.
I am open to the many proposed solutions and after the release if someone
wants to take on that task, freeing me up for other continuing work,
it would be even better!
