Someone asked about defrag for linux...
I found this in FAQ #4 on The Linix Documentation
Project website. I did not follow the link ... some
of them that I have followed were outdated... but...
4.5. Is There a Defragmenter for Ext2fs?
Yes. There is defrag, a Linux file system defragmenter
for ext2,
Minix, and old-style ext file systems. It is available
at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/defrag-0.70.tar.gz.
Users of the ext2 file system can probably do without
defrag, because
ext2 contains extra code to keep fragmentation reduced
even in very
full file systems.
