Hi,
I'm not wanting to start a flame or anything but I have a question, or
two, on file fragmentation. I have three hard drives here. This is how
they are partitioned at the moment:

So you won't freak out, I removed the system generated file systems. I
use reiserfs on everything except /boot. It has ext2. I found a
program, script really, that will tell how fragmented a file system is.
This is what it reports:

Please pardon the error message. I use the script, I didn't write it. :/
I understand that doing the root directory is sort of a sum of all the
others so it may be a little misleading to say the least.
My questions; is this badly fragmented? How can I "unfragment" all the
files and not bork something up badly?
My opinion on this tho, considering this install is about 4 years old,
not to bad. I've seen worse on a windoze rig shortly after a install. ;-)
Thanks for any advice/info you can provide. Let me know if you need
more info too.
Dale
:-) :-)
