Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfsdump
xfs has a program that can incrementally defrag mounted xfs volumes. If
someone goes and gets the utility (xfs_fsr) it would be nice to run it
for them automatically. This eats up a few cpu cycles if there are no
xfs volumes (like 3) and is a huge benefit to xfs users. Given that the
package is not required, only users who install it will get the cron
job.
I propose adding the following to /etc/cron.daily/xfs_optimize
#!/bin/sh
xfs_fsr -t 600
This will run the defragmenter for 600 seconds (10 minutes). The process is
smart enough to keep an eye on what needs work and can resume from where it
left off. This should boost performance and make the volume much happier
overall.
** Affects: xfsdump (Ubuntu)
