Well, maybe defrag could work for DOS filesystems implemented as hdimages?
It would be sometimes really useful ...
Until recently, filesystems (or drives) visible under dosemu through
redirection (lredir or emufs.sys) were reported as network file systems,
and those using hdimages or partition access as local;
For example if I have C: disk from hdimage and E: disk added via lredir,
subst reported as follows:
E:\TTOH>subst k: c:\
E:\TTOH>subst
K: => C:\
E:\TTOH>subst i: e:\
Cannot SUBST a network drive
I am not sure how is emulated hdimage implemented in newer dosemu versions
reported by DOSEMU, as I have not tried that yet.
If people are using both (some kind of) DOS and Linux on their PCs,
using command like defrag where technically possible would be
sometimes useful.
