5%? If my Sun Enterprise 450 machines at work in a production environment
get
0.5% (usually 0.2% to 0.3%) when fsck runs at boot time that is a lot.

I have an off-the-wall question : Is there a way to "defrag" (sorry about
the Microshaft analogy)
Yes, there is such a tool, but I have not heard any good from it. You may
end up loosing your data instead of compacting it together. As everybody
says, the ext2 filesystem manages your data much more efficient as the
Windows
FAT filesystem does. Take a look, everytime you turn on your computer, at
how much your data is fragmented. It's very rare that you get a number
higher
than 5%. In any case, and if you want to give it a try, the name is, as
you guessed it, defrag. *BUT, YOU BETTER HAVE A BACKUP HANDY BEFORE YOU TRY
IT OUT*.
