I would guess the fragmented files are the big ones. And, with average |
| 10 |
of 2 fragments per file, it is not too much. If you have a movie with |
| 11 |
30MB fragments, then it is no problem. |

Unless you hear lot of rattling noise from the HDD, you could leave it |
| 14 |
as is. |

And the surest way to defragment a filesystem is take everything out and |
| 17 |
put it back again. It will write the files one after another and will |
| 18 |
have no reason to split them. |

XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, use more. |
