Lori,
From what I recall about the way WAFL scans, and what I can infer from that, I don't believe that a fragmented filesystem would make the scan take any longer.
If I'm correct in my thinking, it scans the blocks contiguously and determines how many blocks that belong together (for files) are actually in the same place. The ratio is where the index comes from...
thanks, glen. if it's that simple then i wonder what it's doing with the "free space" factor.
