[ilugd] Defragmentation Issue
hi, The output of df -kh gives: #df -kh FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/1/hda654G 51G 0 100% / I beleive its a defragmentation problem. But when I give #defragfs -q /dev/1/hda6 It gives: Device mounted, but not type jfs! Please help.

Re: [ilugd] Defragmentation Issue
5% of the volume space is reserved for root. Hence the ~3GB missing space On 2/24/06, Gurpreet Sachdeva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, The output of df -kh gives: #df -kh FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/1/hda654G 51G 0 100% / I beleive its a defragmentation problem.

Re: [ilugd] Defragmentation Issue
as far as i understand, must unix filesystems donot suffer from fragmentation adversely (compared to M$ filesystems) On 2/24/06, Gurpreet Sachdeva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, The output of df -kh gives: #df -kh FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/1/hda654G 51G 0 100% / I beleive its a defragmentation problem.

Umm, no. ext2/ext3 filesystems, and probably also others, reserve some space, that can be accessed only by root. This is probably what you are seeing. Filesystem performance degrades badly once it is about 90% full, so that you would be well advised to keep usage below that. But when I give #defragfs -q /dev/1/hda6 It gives: Device mounted, but not type jfs! Don't know what defragfs is, but seems like it is a JFS-only tool, and your filesystem is something else. Use mount or mount -l to check. Conventional wisdom is that, unlike FAT, modern file systems do not need defragmentation. In fact, I am not aware of an ext3 defragmentation tool. There used to be an offline one for ext2 filesystems, called e2defrag, but I would very much doubt that it is actually needed. Regards, Gora __ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.
