Hi Keith. In general, no, you shouldn't need to defrag your linux partitions. There is a program for linux called defrag, but you should only use it under the most extreem circumstances. If you have a second partition that will hold your files, it's probably easier and safer to copy your files on to the second partition, do a mkfs on the first partition, then copy the files back. Hope this helps. Gene >Hi all, > >I hadn't thought about this, but coming from a DOS background I am curious >if this is necessary or not.
