Re: Fragmentation (was: XFS NFS server Oops)

While on the subject of xfs_fsr, it would also be of interest to know
what risks are involved in running it. For example, what damage can be
caused if the system crashes while files are being defragmented, and
is there likely to be data loss if the system is cleanly shut down
while xfs_fsr is running? Also, xfs_fsr needs to avoid certain files,
especially kernel images, the location of which on the disk is
significant to the boot process if I understand correctly.
