[ML] In normal operation, no. At least, not in the FAT sense. The default *BSD filesystem (FFS) manages quite well to keep the files and free spaces contiguous. There are extreme cases (zillions of very small but growing files) when fragmentation may become an issue but this is more an application design issue (mistake, some would say) than a filesystem problem. In that case dump followed by newfs and restore may help. /Marino > Cheers > Thomas > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
