| 16 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 17 | .B filefrag |
| 18 | reports on how badly fragmented a particular file might be. It makes |
| 19 | allowances for indirect blocks for ext2 and ext3 filesystems, but can be |
| 20 | used on files for any filesystem. |

| 22 | The |
| 23 | .B filefrag |
| 24 | program initially attempts to get the |
| 25 | extent information using FIEMAP ioctl which is more efficient and faster. |
| 26 | If FIEMAP is not supported then filefrag will fall back to using FIBMAP. |

| 30 | Force the use of the older FIBMAP ioctl instead of the FIEMAP ioctl for |
| 31 | testing purposes. |

| Andreas Dilger | 2508eaa | 2012-11-22 15:06:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | .BI \-b blocksize |
| 34 | Use |
| 35 | .I blocksize |
| 36 | in bytes for output instead of the filesystem blocksize. |
| 37 | For compatibility with earlier versions of |
| 38 | .BR filefrag , |
| 39 | if |
| 40 | .I blocksize |
| 41 | is unspecified it defaults to 1024 bytes. |
| 42 | .TP |
| 43 | .B \-e |
| 44 | Print output in extent format, even for block-mapped files. |
| 45 | .TP |
| 46 | .BI \-k |
| 47 | Use 1024\-byte blocksize for output (identical to '\-b 1024'). |
