Hello all,

  When a file gets created under the Fast File System, and gets placed into
a set of physical blocks and possibly a few fragments, will that file
ever get moved?  In other words, if I created a file and then never updated
it (or even read from it), would it stay on the same place on the physical
disk?

  Another question:  what tools exist (if any) to go in and manually
change i-nodes and other data structures on a hard disk?

(This is a follow-on to my earlier question about what to do if a bad spot
develops on an IDE hard drive.)

Thanks in advance,

Greg Johnson
