Re: [luv-talk] File fragmentation and waste disk space

To make the case, you would have to show that having contiguously allocated files outweighs the cost of performing the defragmentation. This is most obviously so if the files are written once, never modified, and read often, but clearly, most file system usage doesn't follow that pattern. So to your knowledge: 1/ no FS does this 'contiguous allocation' ?; 2/ the reason being that ' the cost of re-arranging the files contiguously ', is greater than 'the cost defragmentation' ?;

thanks for clarifying that , Rohan McLeod
