In a filesystem session at the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM), Ted Ts’o brought
up the subject of filesystems that get resized frequently and whether the
default parameters for filesystem creation should change as a result. It
stems from a conversation that he had with XFS developer Darrick
Wong, who is experiencing some the same challenges as ext4 in this area.
He outlined the problem and how it comes about, then led the discussion on
ways to perhaps address it.
