sounds windowsish, never used anything like defrag on linux, on the other
hand there is fsck(or was it?). I think so, with that you can check also
non-linux partitions if I remember correctly.
'man fsck'
So in this type of OS files don't get fragmented?

Hi Dan, what everyone means is that linux's default filesystems work
differently than NTFS does. Ext3 (or 4) doesn't suffer from performance
degradation from file fragmentation like NTFS does. With NTFS if you
get a high fragmentation level, you will see your system performance
almost disappear. There /was/ a defragmenter for linux at one time, but
I do not know if it even exists any more.
In other words, you shouldn't need to worry about that in linux much at
all.
