Hello all,
Listen... I recently rebooted and did went through a auto file system check. It reported a 5.7% non-contiguous files.
Is that a problem?
Nope. It's normal. That's the percentage of 'fragmented' files that aren't strictly on a set of contiguous blocks.
When is it a problem?
I've never seen it become a problem, but you might get concerned if you get over 60%...
How does one fix it?
Usually your filesystem drivers take care of it for you, or -at worst- fsck will clean things up on boot.
