The 'non-contiguous' stuff means that some files (1%) are fragmented:
one piece here, one piece there, etc. Ext2 is very good at storing most
files in one piece. M$ didn't manage that until NTFS, you had to run
'defrag' from time to time. (At least I think/hope that NTFS doesn't
fragment your files)
So no, I shouldn't worry about that.
