There's very little reason why you would need to, FFS defrags itself as it goes, it has a nifty trick where it will relocate small chunks at the end of files to larger open spaces where they can grow, if it detects them as growing. There are some degenerate cases for FFS, I would search the hackers or 'fs' FreeBSD mailing lists for examples. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
