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: |

|
| 10 |
> 9.46189733169307% non contiguous files, 1.33812703640673 average |
| 11 |
> fragments. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I emerged shake and ran it on each partition then got this: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
> 9.83100532514448% non contiguous files, 1.37302298534689 average |
| 16 |
> fragments. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
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 |

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. |
