Package: ocfs2-tools
Version: 1.4.4-3
Severity: important
Tags: experimental

I have been using a lot OCFS2 and it really has serious problems, the way it is in squeeze.

OCFS2 has a problem of fragmentation that makes the filesystem appear full even if it isn't.
On my servers, the filesystem starts returning ENOSPACE at about 49% usage.

There have been several patches in the kernel that i don't really know if are included in the stock squeeze kernel but, for sure, OCFS2 tools lacks the fs-discontig feature that was introduced later.

The 1.6.3 version of the tools includes such functionality.

I hope that the freeze won't be a no-go for this request otherwise we'll have OCFS2 in squeeze that will not be production ready.
