Does the reorg command accomplish the same result as
backing up and restoring files to eliminate fragmentation?
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: No, the "reorgvg" command works at the logical volume level and only
rearranges the physical partitions within a volume group to conform
to the placement policy for each logical volume, as best it can.
File system fragmentation affects the inodes and data blocks within
a file system. This would not be changed by reorganizing the volume
group as the inodes and data are contained in logical partitions, and
only the position of the partitions are changed by "reorgvg".
More information on the "reorgvg" command and the general workings
of the LVM can be found InfoExplorer. I highly recommend reading
"Logical Volume Storage Overview" article for information on LVM.
