I have to say that here, it is not a whole lot of fragmentation but it does seem a bit faster afterwards. I guess it depends on what is fragmented and such. I sometimes wonder if it defrags itself. Even when I watch the fsck when booting, all the ext4 partitions have a very small percentage of fragmentation. My /boot which is ext2 is fragmented as heck. lol I'm not worried about it tho. ;-) When I was using reiserfs, it was always a good bit of fragmentation. Just thought it was worth a mention since this is the first time I saw a Linux defrag tool. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
