I am curious to know if there is any such thing as fragmentation problems or a need for defragging the hard drive in Linux.
The reason I wonder is that I have never seen or heard any mention of disk fragmentation as a concern with Linux.
If disk fragmentation is not an issue in Linux, can anyone explain why?
I am not anywhere near an expert, but I've been told that the ext2 filesystem handles defragging itself, so there should be no need to use an extra program for that.
