For a more sustainable situation, switch to XFS [It involved a |
| 27 |
backup/format/restore by whatever means you want] In any case, xfs has a |
| 28 |
tool called 'xfs_fsr' Which means 'file system reorganizer'. It does |
| 29 |
defragmentation, and balances some other stuff too. I run it weekly on my |
| 30 |
production servers, and nightly on mostof my workstations. |
