ext3 defragmentationext3 defragmentationPosted Apr 23, 2004 18:35 UTC (Fri) by southey (subscriber, #9466)In reply to: ext3 defragmentation by prat Parent article: ext3 block reservation In my (poor) opinion defragmentation is a myth. At least on Windows it doesn't change a thing except the time waiting for it to finish. There is more benefit is having files used together in the same sequence - at least this is one of the tricks MS uses to get Windows to 'boot' faster. Linux's ability to put that 'unused' memory to 'good use' also probably helps minimize fragmentation delays with file access. Harddrive technology probably also makes this a less of an issue.
