Okay, this script should take any file with a specified extn,
and rename it to any other with an incremental suffix with a
specified character. Run it as: "scriptname extn char"
[e.g. scriptname abc s] where you want extn to be s01, s02 ..
for all files ending with .abc to be changed.

echo "moving $FILENAME to ${FILENAME%$1}$NEW_SFX"
mv $FILENAME ${FILENAME%$1}$NEW_SFX"

Inherently, ext2 file systems limit fragmentation as far as
possible, however, external fragmentation (where a large file
is spread over non-contiguous sectors may occur). For defrag-
mentation of such type ...
