# defrag-dirs

A simple directory index "defragmentation" tool since e4defrag only handles regular files

It works by moving all directory contents into temporary directories and then replacing the old ones.

Caveats: 

* Will interfere with any process that tries to access the directories at the same time.

* Does not preserve xattrs, acls or timestamps of directories. Metadata of other dir entries is preserved

* If an error is encountered in the middle of a move files may be left stranded in a temporary directory

## Build

* install liblzo2 and libz (build-time dependencies) 

* install rust and cargo

* clone repo

* `cargo build --release`

* `target/release/defrag-dirs --help`
