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.
