Subject: [PATCH] ext* free space fragmentation reporting

We wrote a tool for Lustre which reports the free space fragmentation in
ext* filesystems. There was a request on linuxfs to get a copy of this
patch, and I thought it would be potentially useful for others as well.
The patch is against 1.40.11, but I don't think it would need to change
much (if any) for 1.40.1 because it only uses public libext2fs interfaces.

- builds a histogram of different sizes of aligned contiguous free
space 4k..128MB, which is what mballoc will be checking for
- reports the min/max/average size of contiguous chunks of free space
- reports the percent of free space in "chunksize" chunks (default 1MB)

+.TH E2FREEFRAG 8
+.SH NAME
+e2freefrag \- report free space fragmentation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B e2freefrag
+[
+.B \-c chunk_kb
+]
+[
+.B \-h
+]
+.B filesys
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B e2freefrag
+is used to report free space fragmentation on ext2/3/4 file systems.
+.I filesys
+can be a device name (e.g.
+.IR /dev/hdc1 ", " /dev/sdb2 ).
+The
+.B e2freefrag
+program will scan the block bitmap information to check how many free blocks
+are present as contiguous free space. The percentage of contiguous free blocks
+of size and of alignment
+.IR chunk_kb
+is reported. It also displays the minimum/maximum/average free chunk size in
+the filesystem. It also displays an histogram of all free chunks. This
+information can be used to gauge the level of free space fragmentation in the
+filesystem.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-c " chunk_kb"
+Desired size of chunk. It is specified in units of kilobytes (KB). If no
+.I chunk_kb
+is specified on the command line, then the default value is 1024KB.
+.TP
+.BI \-h
+Print the usage of the program.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+# e2freefrag -c 1024 /dev/sda5
+.br
+Device: /dev/sda5
+.br
+Blocksize: 4096 bytes
+.br
+
+Total blocks: 5120710

+.br

+Total chunks: 20003
+.br
+Free chunks: 2174 (10.9%)
+.br
+
+Min free chunk: 4 KB
+.br
+Max free chunk: 24576 KB

Thanks, I'll look at this. Speaking of which, a week or two ago I was
going through the clusterfs patches to see if there was anything I had
missed for 1.41.0 that should either go into 1.42 or 1.41.1, and I
noticed there were a number of extra tools, of which freefrag was but
one.

Can I assume a signed-off by "Andreas Dilger <[email protected]>" for
any of the Clusterfs/Sun e2fsprogs patches in the public patches
directory? Are there any other user programs in particular that
should be included?

Yes.

The other one that we've worked on is e2scan - it implements a fast
scan of the inode table to find modified files for backup/rsync/etc.
