> How does linux handle file fragmentation and, thus, defragmentation? The file system is just smarter about how it writes and locates on the drive, so much smarter than something like FAT32 that it is not even on the same plane of existence. NTFS might be slightly better than FAT32, I am not sure, but I know I have had to defrag NTFS drives before so it does happen. As for the nitty gritty, you would need to do some heavy reading on Journalised File Systems, Google is your friend there. Main thing is, don't worry about it, it would take you decades of haphazard writing and deleting to frag your linux partitions. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 13:06:33 up 15 days, 18:47, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00
