4 e2freefrag \- report free space fragmentation information
17 is used to report free space fragmentation on ext2/3/4 file systems.
19 is the file system device name (e.g.
20 .IR /dev/hdc1 ", " /dev/md0 ).
23 program will scan the block bitmap information to check how many free blocks
24 are present as contiguous and aligned free space. The percentage of contiguous
25 free blocks of size and of alignment
27 is reported. It also displays the minimum/maximum/average free chunk size in
28 the file system, along with a histogram of all free chunks. This information
29 can be used to gauge the level of free space fragmentation in the file system.
33 If a chunk size is specified, then
35 will print how many free chunks of size
37 are available in units of kilobytes (Kb). The chunk size must be a
38 power of two and be larger than file system block size.
41 Print the usage of the program.
