Hi folks, My BTRFS systems now have slowed down to the point where I finally decided to trash all my snapshots and try and defrag it all.
I basically wrote a shell script that goes down the complete FS tree, runs a "filefrag" over each file and issues a "btrfs filesystem defrag $blah" against every files which number of fragments is > 1. I'm currently running it, but I notice that for every file that is likely open (i.e. /bin/bash), my script spits out : failed to open /bin/bash open:: Text file busy total 1 failures FAILED ! I expected that the BTRS defragmentation was done by the kernel and was able to handle open files, but apparently not ? Another question is : Is there a way to determine if a directory needs a defrag ? filefrag doesn't seem to be able to work properly against a directory... TIA.
