** Description changed: Binary package hint: ntfs-3g When I'm copying files from Ubuntu to any NTFS partition, firstly the files become heavily fragmented, so I defragged the volume using Microsoft Disk Defragmenter in Windows XP and O&O Defrag in Windows Vista. I wonder why my volume could not defragged perfectly like the other times when i'm not copying the files using Linux. I see a lot of system block colored identifier in the Cluster view in O&O Defrag scattered everywhere. I don't know how to eliminate these unnecessary system blocks (I wonder what data contained there) without reformatting the partition. So, each time when i'm going to copy an abundant amount of files (in this case 120000+ files, from a few KBs to 6 GBs), the data will be fragmented because thete are not enough contiguous blocks for the system to write in. Linux Distributions : Probably Any linux Distributions (maybe, coz i've tried fedora 8, ubuntu 8.04 LTS, mandriva 2007.1 (spring), etc and the results are the same from the fresh install) NTFS-3G version : any version to date (any stable or either unstable versions included in the distributions listed above) + This have been happened since i were using ubuntu 7.04 (first time using + ubuntu) + I hope that there is: 1. a way to eliminate these sectors by hand without reformatting the partition 2. a way to prevent this thing further occurrence
