Title:
  xfs_fsr should run automatically if on xfs volumes if it is installed

Status in xfsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xfsdump

  xfs has a program that can incrementally defrag mounted xfs volumes.
  If someone goes and gets the utility (xfs_fsr) it would be nice to run
  it for them automatically.  This eats up a few cpu cycles if there are
  no xfs volumes (like 3) and is a huge benefit to xfs users.  Given
  that the package is not required, only users who install it will get
  the cron job.

  I propose adding the following to /etc/cron.daily/xfs_optimize

  #!/bin/sh

  xfs_fsr -t 600

  
  This will run the defragmenter for 600 seconds (10 minutes).  The process is smart enough to keep an eye on what needs work and can resume from where it left off.  This should boost performance and make the volume much happier overall.
