it's about the same as fragmentation in the windoze world... but fragmentation on ext2fs is pretty limited because its a *smart* file system as compared to FAT. It'll make you system slower as the value keeps increasing... esp. if the files that you are using are heavily fragmented. |Is there any way to reset this equal to zero. One sure fire way to do it... move all the contents of that partition to another partition(make the original partition empty(except for lost+found)) and then move the contents back to the original partion... this will make the system 100% unfragmented.
