Message-ID: <20021022120108.Q212-100000@bigb3server.bbcluster.gr> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I know how the FFS (filesystem) works, and that it really does an excelent job in allocating clusters as local as possible. But it is also true that after some period of extensive use of it, the filesystem get fragmented, and results in severe degration of speed. One way is to dump/restore everything which is very painfull thing. ------- So, what do you do [except dump/restore] to defrag the FFS after some time of extensive use? Or you dont care for the degration in speed? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
