Are you suggesting I increase my volume size, or my block size? My root file system is only 60% in use. My block size is really small at 512. Fragmentation doesn't seem that bad: # xfs_db -r /dev/sda6 xfs_db> frag actual 271616, ideal 261368, fragmentation factor 3.77% xfs_db> However, since I am trying to upgrade my GRUB, not use it with a new install, I can imagine that GRUB is finding all the holes. Thank you for fixing this!
