Re: Ext3 File System: Dynamic Reorganization

Hello,

I am wondering why this is not implemented and available, when there are
so many articles written in late 90's showing great performance
improvements.

I was thinking because I could not find any de-fragmentation tool for Linux
similar to windows, so I was assumings that probably Linux file systems are
smart and they must be reorganizing behind the hood.

Thanks

Mir

Hello,

I have one question regarding ext3/ext4 filesystem. I have some expert
will answer it.

Does ext3/ext4 filesystem perform dynamic disk reorganization for
frequently access data ?

Name me one filesystem that does that. The closest thing that I can
think of is online defragmentation on XFS but that is not automatic
which is what I think you are alluding to as well.
