Hi all,
I was wondering why don't I need to defragment my disk,
Everyone says it is not necessary,
Does anyone know the reason ?
There is no reason. Fragmentation can and will occur. It's true that
due to file system design (I'm specifically relating to ext3/2 here)
fragmentation may occur more slowly then with other systems/file
systems, but it will occur.
And no, there is no reliable tool to defragment an ext2/3 partition.
Don't know about other file systems though.

Thanks for the reply,
Can you point on a document describing ext3/2 design which I can
understand from, why fragmentation accur more slowly on these type on FS.
