No, sorry, I gave the URL to the english wiki but had the german wiki in mind. If I'm in good mood, maybe I'll translate the part I was thinking about and post that.
there's still some fragmentation occuring on NTFS partitions.
Fragmentation occurs on *any* file system, it's the question of how much that's interesting and under which conditions it occurs.
One thing I recall was that a bit map of disk space was maintained, so that the smallest piece of free space that could hold the file, plus a bit extra would be used. This method would resist fragmenting, so long as a reasonable amount of free space was available.
I used OS/2 quite a while and I also do know a bit about it. NTFS is a decendant of HPFS. Remember that NT started as a next generation OS/2. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
