I just stumbled upon "xfs_fsr" -

xfs_fsr  improves the organization of mounted filesystems.  The reorga-
nization algorithm operates on one file at a time, compacting or other-
wise  improving  the  layout  of the file extents (contiguous blocks of
file data).

- so XFS just keeps getting better and better.
