I had a ten 3TB drive Raid Z2 pool that consistently sat at about 12% fragmented. I upgraded to two 8 drive RaidZ2 Vdevs in the pool to gain a little space and because I had a few extra 3TB drives and it was cheaper to buy 3 more than buying 10 new 5TB drives. The install went fine, everything is working as before and now I am reloading the data back into the pool. I have 21.5TB worth of data and have reloaded about 18TB of it and my fragmentation is showing 30%
I thought with a continuous reload of data that there would be little if any fragmentation. My questions are:
1. Should I be concerned? If the answer is no then the next 2 questions don't really matter.
2. Is there something I should be looking at that could be causing a problem?
3. If, at a later date, I decide to reduce the fragmentation what should I do differently?
