Interestingly, I've generally had qgroups enabled here as well,
possibly on all of these systems.  Could that be the culprit?
Possibly.

Is there a reliable way to create files with many extents? I've tried
playing with fallocate, but couldn't create files with too many extents
with it.
I could do it quite reliably by storing a VirtualBox VM hard drive image there, then running a Windows Update inside the VM. Instant fragmentation ;-)

Another approach could probably be to write a C program that writes 20GB to a file, then seeks to random places within it, writing chunks of data within them.

I could probably whip up such a thing if the debuggers need it.
