- Are there any disk defragmentation utilities available for linux
- (or the minix file system)?? I find these utils invaluable under dos,
- and considering the amount of swapping that goes on in my machine under
- Linux (need more memory :-> ), I'm sure a linux partition could benefit..
-
- Any ideas? (besides backing up my hard drive, erasing it, reloading one
- file at a time!)
-
-
- Oh yeah... For anyone new to linux.. Here's a tip: If you writing files
- to floppy disks, always mount/umount EACH disk. Don't just take out one
- disk and stick in another.. I learnt this lesson the hard way :-(

- Thanks...
