Like a moron, I requested a read-receipt with the last message I sent.
Sorry!

However, I did come across a 'defrag' command by doing this: apt-cache
show defrag

See if that will fix your problems or not.  I've never used it, but it
supposedly works with ext2, minix, and xiafs.

Tried it on a spare ext3 partition that I backed up first.  Did a diff
after, the defrag corrupted data.

---------------------------------------------------------------The REPLY----------------------------------------------------------- I have been at this for a while (since the early 90's) & I have yet to need to run any kind of defrag utility on any Linux distro. I did not see what is the reason for you considering this...but I strongly advise against it. If you are having some problem maybe there is another solution.
