Defragment

[Charles C. Bennett, Jr.]

> Do you need to defragment your hard drive under Linux???

No.  Fragmentation does not hamper UNIX systems as badly as DOS,
especially if you're using a real disk subsystem (SCSI qualifies).
If you're really concerned about it, always move old data to new
disks when you add disks to the system and mkfs the old partitions
for storing new data.  Kinda like rotating stock.

Then again if you invented a pretty "defragger" for Linux there's
a whole wave of people starting to come on board that would gladly
pay for it ;-).
