Assuming we *can* still write to the FS (i.e. as more of a preventative 
action), would the following do the same?

cp -a a b
mv b a

Can the above work as a *hack* online defrag? Will this reduce the amount of 
free space fragmentation and therefore stop (or reduce the chance of) this 
problem from occurring? Would we need to do it to the entire file system or 
just a few larger files?

Cheers,

Brad
