What's the story with ext3 file fragmentation? Are there any gain in defragmenting the file system? Does ext3 suffer from file fragmentation? I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I want real-world opinions, not just suppositions. The reason I ask is the performance of Evolution on my machine is deteriorating as I accumulate more email. I'm sure some of this is just due to the size of my Inbox (170MB or so) and Evolution's handling of it, but would a defragmenter help this at all? -------------------------------------- Mark Haney Network Administrator InterAct Public Safety Systems mhaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Kernel: 2.6.8-1.521 GNU/Linux 09:04:11 up 1:22, 2 users, load average: 6.61, 6.24, 4.69
