Hello, i just want to know, how ext3 avoids fragmentation. Well, i think it works like this (but i dont know...): When the OS says to the filesystem, save the file, the file system looks, where are free sectors laying together to use. when there is enough place the filesystem try's to write the file without fragments. is there not enough place, the fs wrote the file in the way, to create less fragemnts. some file systems keep space after the file, for when the file grows. i dont know, works ext3 in this way? maybe somebody can explain it shortly. thanks frindly _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
