Hi folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have a pretty old install tho I have moved it from one drive to |
4 |
another once, using cp -av. It got to big for the old hard drive. |
5 |
Anyway, the install is about 5 years old or so and about 3 years since |
6 |
it got moved. I have Gentoo on it naturally, a ship load of pictures |
7 |
and a few other standard documents and such. I found something called |
8 |
frag check on the forums a long time ago and I got this from it: |

11 |
> fragments. |

I emerged shake and ran it on each partition then got this: |

> 9.83100532514448% non contiguous files, 1.37302298534689 average |

I'm not sure but it looks like it is more fragmented now than it was. |
19 |
It may just be that given file sizes and such that that is as good as it |
20 |
gets. Here is some additional info: |

Is a little under 10% normal and acceptable? As you may notice, I use |
40 |
reiserfs. It has never been more than 10% that I can recall, even when |
41 |
it does its checking during bootup. I'm not sure what is more accurate, |
42 |
frag check, shake or the check during boot up. Shake is new to me so it |
43 |
does not make much sense yet. Give me a while on it. LOL |

45 |
If this is a little high, what would be the best way to defrag it? Is |
46 |
there a best way? I do have a second hard drive that I back up too. |
47 |
Both Drives are 80Gbs and I do have a set of DVD back ups as well. I |
48 |
can update those pretty quick. |
