Re: Defragging Ubuntu


15 years ago I used to 'defrag' in Ultrix (DEC's early version of Unix) by doing
dump and restores - never made a hell of a lot of difference.

Come to think of it, in the early 1980's we never had to defrag the DEC VAX/VMS systems either, and we had about 20 of them. I'd forgotten that.
