Don't worry about it. Fragmentation doesn't really have any effect on linux filesystems. There are tools out there that can defragment your filesystem, but I wouldn't test them out on production data :-P
I know, it takes a while to get used to not having to care about fragmentation anymore, but now I love it!

I've never experienced any problems with heavily fragmented disks on windows (besides the performance problems)? _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
