It is rare for fragmentation to happen to the extend it is a problem - especially with file-systems that support extents, etc... I generally assume that if fragmentation is causing a performance issue then the host is probably starved for memory or the I/O subsystem is broken in some way [causing responsiveness issues, which shouldn't really happen except with pretty had hardware... aka, most cheap laptops]. But the easiest way to defrag a filesystem is to backup, wipe, and restore [tar /home, rm -fR /home/*, untar]. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
