[TriLUG] Re: defragmenting

[Jerry]

Hello,
        I don't know if defragmenting is required but one way to do it
is to
put all the files in a tape archive, delete the original files, and
untar the tape archive back on the clean disk. Tape archives can be
created on a hard disk and all the files are defragmented in the
process. There are probably other copy/copy methods of defragmenting.
        HTH,
Jerry
