Might ASM be in use, also?
I'd put this up there with a joke by Steven Wright:
"I like to hang out in the basement with the humidifier and dehumidifier running and watch them duke it out."
Imagine if the storage were on an HP unit with "Auto-RAID" and it was being changed between RAID 5 and RAID 10 because it was being written to a great deal.
How would it know when it was done defragmenting?
(what is the terminating condition?)
("how do it know" - like with a Thermos - how does it know to keep the
contents hot or cold)
