Not what I expected. But I like it!
Recently, I've been moving a lot of files and sub-directories around.
And I'm preparing for a semi-annual big back-up and system upgrade (to
F-29). Because it has been a few years since I last checked for
fragmentation, I thought it would be good to at least check.
A few minutes ago, based on Ed's reply, I tried "e4defrag -c" on "/home":

Fragmentation score 1
[0-30 no problem: 31-55 a little bit fragmented: 56- needs defrag]
This directory (/home) does not need defragmentation.
Done.
-bash.2[~]:

So it looks great.
The results above do raise a question in my mind: What are those
"[user's home]/.local/share/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.log"
files? Anything to do with coin or data mining, or something else
malicious?
Thank-you, Joe and Ed.
Bill.
