Chris: Unless you are using either JFS or XFS (sorry, I can't remember which), forget about defragging; it is not an issue in Linux. Should you run the appropriate fsck for your filesystem, it will probably report something on the order of 3% fragmentation. Ignore it. Run it a month from now and you'll get a similar result. We never said Linux is perfect, just that it's pretty damn good. -- cmg
