IIRC, this Q&A is in the linux FAQ (if that still > exists - it was pretty long in the tooth the last time I looked at it). http://www.google.com/search?q=defrag+ext2+linux+FAQ and specifically: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/faqs/section4.html#q_4_3 Question 4.3. Is there a defragmenter for ext2fs etc. ? Yes. There is a Linux filesystem defragmenter for ext2, minix and old-style ext filesystems available on sunsite.unc.edu in system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz. Users of the ext2 filesystem can probably do without defrag since ext2 contains extra code to keep fragmentation reduced even in very full filesystems. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
