Does there exist a utility to immediately take a partition that has been growfs'd and "fix" it so that it does not experience this performance penalty ? That is, I am willing to sit and wait 10 minutes while some utility rearranges and reorganizes the unmounted filesystem if it means I don't have to dump/restore/blah/blah and if it allows me to avoid the performance penalty you mentioned... thanks, PT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
