> hi, is it possible to defragment ext3 or any other unix filesystem? Yes it is, but usually not needed fragmentation occurs under linux filesystems only if partitions are close to full. Basically a linux filesystem will self defrag over the time unless partitons are always filled up to the last byte. If you only use up to 75% of you r partition you won't get any fragmentation. The easiest way to defrag a linux partition is to just move data to one partition and then back to the other, this already defrags a partition. > > -- > Regards, Redeeman > () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail > /\ - against microsoft attachments > > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > > > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
