Bcachefs Merges New On-Disk Format Version For Linux 6.11, Working Toward Defrag

Seeing a defragmenter makes me feel like I'm back on windows...

That's one of my happy memories.

I'd run CCleaner to clear files, a registry cleaner called Registry Clean Expert, and then leave VoptXP running (a visual defragmenter) before heading to highschool or before bed. And when I got back, I'd get to see my squeaky-clean Windows XP, run a ram optimizer (can't recall which ones), and play Morrowind, Spellforce, Maplestory, and Gothic.

I had a screaming fast Pentium single-core CPU, a revolutionary Geforce FX 5500, and future-proof 1 GB of that sexy DDR2 RAM. And I squeezed more juice out of this monster with RivaTuner.

We need a Systemd-defragmentd:

"Checking your filesystem 1/10"
"Please don't turn off your computer…"

For those that use btrfs and want something similar to the old defrag style graphics there is btrfs-heatmap. I am sure that idea can be implemented for bcachefs as well.

Aww... I was hoping we'd get a graphical defragger, even if just for kicks.

One day maybe we'll see such a graphical tool dedicated for Bcachefs, or more FSs. Like those on Windows 😆
