It isn't needed; the Linux kernel and friends do much better job of allocating space on a hard disk. The following two sites begin the explanation. You can explore more from there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation#_note-4 http://pl.atyp.us/wordpress/?p=241 Although they both sites mention the possibility of defragmentation on a UNIX like system, rest assured, it is seldom done. -- Regards Bill
