Subject: [gentoo-user] defragmentation


> hi, is it possible to defragment ext3 or any other unix filesystem?

Yes it is, but usually not needed fragmentation occurs under linux
filesystems only if partitions are close to full.
Basically a linux filesystem will self defrag over the time unless partitons
are always filled up to the last byte.
If you only use up to 75% of you r partition you won't get any
fragmentation.

The easiest way to defrag a linux partition is to just move data to one
partition and then back to the other, this already defrags a partition.
