Hello everybody,

for 2 weeks now we are running a regular defragment on our advfs-partitions.
Everything seemed to be ok, until I saw the following report (excerpt):


> defragment: Defragmenting domain 'dom_rosat'
>
> Pass 1; Clearing
> Volume 1: area at block 2060272 ( 4505376 blocks): 29% full
> Domain data as of the start of this pass:
> Extents: 4425
> Files w/extents: 4365
> Avg exts per file w/exts: 1.01
> Aggregate I/O perf: 100%
> Free space fragments: 371
> <100K <1M <10M >10M
> Free space: 0% 1% 3% 96%
> Fragments: 219 118 19 15
OK - well?

NOTE THE NEGATIVE PERCENTAGES!!!

BTW - the data on the disk seem to be ok. We are running 3.0 (sorry, but
upgrading is NOT an option!).

Any ideas?
