I'm not expecting it to be in real world usage, of course. OTOH, frequent defragmenting is probably not a good idea on SSDs. > Which API lets you know if you have a contiguous file or not / how do you > ‘require’ a contiguous file on disk? Not sure, but I seem to recall it is possible. That said, I may just have observed that in ... defragmentation utilities (which tend not to work on files they cannot move to a contiguous bit of disk space). > maybe something like hfsdbug could help you determine if it’s something to > worry about or not? Possible, and I could also renew contact with iDefrag's author. Thought I'd ask here before spending a lot of time on it :) R. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
