Hi!

I would like to defrag the XFS partition on which my glusterfs brick is.
Normally no program cares about xfs_fsr.

Just to make sure: is it "safe" to run xfs_fsr on a glusterfs brick
while everything is online or does any part of glusterfs gets confused?

I have a two node replicated volume (if that is relevant) running
glusterfs 3.4

The GlusterFS server is all userspace. So, as long as you are not taking the underlying (XFS) filesystem offline, it won't care one bit.

Though you might see a performance hit for anything doing I/O to the filesystem in question.

Do you run your filesystems near full capacity? (wondering why you need a defrag.)
