I hate to say it, but rt*m - in this case, the man page. Then know that the extended filesystem is (and has been for a while) obsolete and that you are almost certainly using an extended 2 filesystem (the "2" is very important!) In fact, if you could use tune2fs, then you certainly are. edefrag is for extended filesystems - e2defrag is for extended 2 filesystems. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
