OK. I completed my install and got everything working. This is what I got after that: 2.24954051453251% non contiguous files, 1.06439409487064 average fragments. I then ran shake just to see if it changed for the better or worse. I got this surprising answer: 25.2668178520421% non contiguous files, 1.41060290111655 average fragments. You may want to look twice at the decimal point. It appears that shake makes things much worse or the fragck script has some serious issues one. I have no clue which. I'm not to worried about this since I will be moving this over to the other drive anyway. I would like to know what command I should use to tar up everything, transfer it over and untar it all on one line if possible? I plan to do this while booted from a Gentoo CD. I just want to try this so that it will be compressed then transfered and untared once on the way. Does this make since? I have used cp -av in the past. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
