<div><br></div><div>But, to answer your question, I'm not sure that it is really bad (i.e. that it is hurting performance to a noticeable degree). One of the responses specifically cautioned against running xfs_fsr on any partition that was anything other than partially full and that the kernel should be expected to take care of it.</div>
