boot: 65/88704 files (21.2% non-contiguous),
A fsck reported a seriously defragged boot partition during a boot check.
So I tried this:
# cd
# mkdir notboot
# cp -rp /boot/* notboot
# cd /boot
# pwd
# rm -rf *
# cp -rp /root/notboot/* .
# tree .
# shutdown -rF now
The -F in shutdown to get another check. Hope that is an error free
rendition.
Results:
boot: 65/88704 files (9.4% non-contiguous)
I thought to repeated the process for further results. But it only got down
to
9.2% . :(
So I repeated but I gzipped the files in my notboot directory, then
/gunzipped them in boot. That increased my noncontiguous files to
12.4% !
I got back to 9.2% with the original process.
I am guessing that some type of fragmentation is copied with the files.
BTW, the root partition where I made the notboot directory is 1.8% .
I can live with 9.2%, but I am open to trying more! :)
