Well that might be a problem seeing that I have ext2 already on it. Should I not being using this for scsi disks? Also the manpages on defrag do not mention anything about mimix support. I'm sure I could backup the filesystem and recreate it on mimix, but I have also read that mimix only supports 30 character filenames, which would probably limit my users, ( the fs is /home ). I was just hoping there was a way to create a 'good magic number' in the superblock so defrag could run on my current fs.
