Is that what you are saying?.
Did you follow the link I gave? It's what the explanation there implies. However, I'm guessing that the system only knows how big your first write is, not how big the file's going to get, partially because the program itself may not know this. And, instead of going to the beginning of the area allocated, it goes roughly to the middle, to leave room for the preceding file to grow as well as room in case you want to add something to the head of the file. It's not perfect, and files can still fragment, but the probability is that it won't happen anywhere near as often as it does under Windows.
