Description:
------------
Shake is a defragmenter that runs in userspace, without the need of
patching the kernel and while the system is used (for now, on GNU/Linux
only).
Contrary to xfs_fsr, it use only fonctions commons to all filesystems. More
than a port, it tries to add new ideas, mainly the one of a selective
defragmentation, that is to defragment only the few files that it's usefull
to.
Concretely, the essential of the program aims at evaluating the cost of
fragmentation, based on criterias such as fragments number, distance with
"friends" (by default, group of files used at the same time), file age
(rewriting old files allow the filesystem to reclaim free space), file size,
number of "crumbs" (that is very small fragments wich force the head to move
repetively)...
Used with the pre-alpha python module that parse the output of it's verbose
mode, it could be used to create a classical GUI, or a tool giving
information about fragmentation to filesystem writers.
