The bits of that post that I do know something about are astonishingly ignorant. Is there any reason to believe the rest is different?

(I particularly love the claim that 'no Unix-Filesystem does fragment'. That one got a wry chuckle.)

Well, it's almost true :-) Seriously, which unix filesystems DO do defrag? Which ones NEED to do defrag? Which is what the author was getting at - unix file systems don't have a defrag because they don't need a defrag.

It was quite an interesting read, if a little out of date :-)

Cheers,
Wol

All of them, but perhaps a tad slower.

Interesting? More like filled with opinion-based ranting. :)
