The end of the fsck process will probably display some statistics on number of blocks used and a percentage of discontinuous blocks. This is perfectly normal and expected. You might notice a slowdown if the fraction gets above 5% or so; the 'defrag' package in theory can help clean this up but it's a little dangerous, and usually unnecessary. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
