Disk fragmenter?

I wrote userspace filesystem fragmenter a while back. It was kind of interesting seeing how different filesystems behaved under extreme fragmentation; I wonder if any behavior has changed since then.

Good question, I searched around on kernel.org for some git repo and also other places but did not find anything.

Maybe ask the original author, Sasha Levin:

Where will the liblockdep library and lockdep tool be moving to?

Disk fragmenter?

> The F2FS filesystem has two new mount options that instruct the kernel to fragment files across the storage device. Most users are unlikely to want to use this option, but it can be helpful for developers working on the performance of fragmented filesystems.

So this is basically the opposite of a disk defragmenter?
