April 7, 20206 yr I'm currently defragging a single 2TB disk, it appears to be single threaded, can I start another defrag up and run several in parallel? I'm not planning on using the server for a few days, so seems like a good time to do it.
April 7, 20206 yr You can run multiple defrags at the same time as long as you don't have parity (with the caveat that you won't know which thread will be used for each defrag instance). With parity, running multiple simultaneous defrag will slow it down exponentially.
April 7, 20206 yr Author I do have a fully functional parity, probably best to do one at a time by the sounds of it. Monthly parity check recently completed without errors. FYI root@rutland:~# xfs_db -r /dev/md1 xfs_db> frag actual 1203254, ideal 4232, fragmentation factor 99.65% xfs_db> frag -d actual 209, ideal 208, fragmentation factor 0.48% xfs_db> frag -f actual 1203045, ideal 4024, fragmentation factor 99.67% xfs_db> quit Edited April 7, 20206 yr by fishface type
