The FFS used in FreeBSD avoids fragmentation by allocating space for files in groups. The fragmentation figure you see when the machine boots up is something completly different. It is the number of fragments of files that are less than the allocation unit (what DOS calls cluster) and are allocated just part of such a unit (that's a fragment in FFS). > > TIA Per > > > > Per Eegehauge mailto:phce@image.dk > Arnestedet 17 mail2:per@decus.dk > DK-2720 Vanloese > Denmark > Nadav
