Block fragments in the UFS file system are not the same as fragmented
files under FAT and the like.  The "frag" abbreviation is just an
unfortunate coincidence.  

One description of what a fragment is can be found in section 2.4 of
"Fsck - The UNIX- File System Check Program". This doc can be found in 
/usr/share/doc/smm/03.fsck on most FreeBSD systems.
