reiser4progs incluses a program measurefs.reiser4. It should be able to measure tree fragmentation. I am not sure how does portage tree evolve, but maybe it could be interesting too see how does reiser4 tree fragmentation change when filesystem is loaded regularly. > Since this would be > a new partition with nothing but the portage tree, it is an ideal and > clean environment for testing a specific feature of reiser4 (as has been > frequently mentioned). > > I hope to make a small contribution to the development of IMHO the most > promising filesystem since ext3. :) > > > > Keep it up, > > > Gasper
