fsadm -D

[Juan Gonzalez_2]

What does fsadm -D and fsadm -E do? I did a man on fsadm and it does not list these options. We are running OnlineJFS3.3 here. Can some shine some little on this.

Hi

-D reports on directory fragmentation

-E reports on file extent fragmentation

Do a man on fsadm_vxfs. The -E option reports on vxfs extent fragmentation while -D reports directory fragmentation. The -E and -D option don't do anything to defragment (that's -e and -d) but rather report on the extent of fragmentation.

[John Dvorchak · Accepted solution]

The capital D and E are the reporting functions if you actually want to defrag the extents and directorys then use the lower case d and e. I usually do both in my defrag scripts i.e.

fsadm -F vxfs -Dd -Ee /var

That way you get a report of the current state and the state after defraging.
