My brother has windoze XP and NTFS. It gets very fragmented. He |
19 |
defrags that thing pretty regular. I would think that NTFS may be |
20 |
better than *FAT but it doesn't seem to be much. |

I have to say, my system is pretty snappy. I have a AMD 2500+ with 2Gbs |
36 |
of ram. My drives are the bottle neck but I can't say that it is |
37 |
because of it being fragmented. It is a ATA133 system but one drive |
38 |
runs ATA100 if I recall correctly. May be that one drive is older than |
39 |
the other. |

Frag check is a script that someone wrote. It is not part of reiserfs |
42 |
tools or anything. I'm not even sure how accurate it is with reiserfs |
43 |
or if the file system matters. |
