So I converted the VMware VMDK file to a VirtualBox VDI file: -rw------- 1 plu plu 28845539328 jul 13 13:36 Windows7-disk1.vmdk -rw------- 1 plu plu 28993126400 jul 13 14:04 Windows7.vdi $ filefrag Windows7.vdi Windows7.vdi: 15 extents found $ btrfs filesystem defragment -t 3g Windows7.vdi $ filefrag Windows7.vdi Windows7.vdi: 24 extents found How can it be less than 28 extents with a chunk size of 1 GiB?
