.... I haven't had any issues with it myself, but I know Wolfgang had posted something a couple of times about disk fragmentation on linux, if I can find it I'll forward it to you private mail.... maybe it'll be of some use to you. He basically said that fragmentation on Linux isn't such a big deal, and that you don't need to 'defrag' as you would with the other os Michael On Wed, 2 Sep 1998, Howard Arons wrote:
My most recent forced fsck revealed that the partition mounted as /opt contains 13.5on-contiguous files. That sounds high to me, at least from a DOS FAT perspective.
My /opt has had a lot of items removed (Applix) and added (kernel source via link to /usr/src), so I'm not too surprised.
Do I need to take any action with non-contiguous files at a 13.5% level? If so, now what? I don't think I've seen any "defrag" apps for Linux. Does one tgz, rm and untar?
Opinions of wiser heads needed.
