Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
Go to http://wwwmandrakestorecom
It depends on the filesystem for defrag Reiser, XFS, ext2 and ext3
hardly need them

You don't need to defrag as fragmentation ain't a problem with a REAL
filesystem As for Scandisk - fsck is the equivalent There are
various flavors depending on which fs you are running man fsck will
get you started

The command is e2fsck. Generally there's no need to invoke this, as most
Linux distributions are set up to run every 20th boot up or so. Check
the man pages on how to use it.

this seems like an opportune moment to ask about defragging of win partitions
in linux, after encoding a lot of mp3s in linux simultaneously i noticed
that when in win and running defrag that my mp3 partition (vfat) was majorly
defragmented in a fashion that suggested that each successive
E2fsck is more like Windos Scandisc than Defrag, in that it finds and
fixes errors (it does not defragment). Linux filesystems (namely Ext2,
Ext3 and ReiserFS) are structured so that defragmenting is totally
unnecessary. When you run e2fsck on an Ext2 partition, it gives its
fragmentation

Yes and no. The file system is so smartly built that it fixes defragging
by itself, on the fly, in background. You need not do anything for it.

We are Microsoft
ext2, which is Linux's standard filesystem, does not need a defrag programme.
Neither does ReiserFS, which comes with Mandrake as an alternative to ext2.
Only inefficient filesystems like M$ FAT and NTFS need to be defragged. A
Linux defragmenter does exist, but it was designed for the older
