    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    of them that I have followed were outdated...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.
