A fsck reported a seriously defragged boot partition during a boot check. So I tried this:
# cd # mkdir notboot # cp -rp /boot/* notboot # cd /boot # pwd # rm -rf * # cp -rp /root/notboot/* . # tree . # shutdown -rF now The -F in shutdown to get another check. Hope that is an error free rendition. Results: boot: 65/88704 files (9.4% non-contiguous) I thought to repeated the process for further results. But it only got down to 9.2% . :( So I repeated but I gzipped the files in my notboot directory, then /gunzipped them in boot. That increased my noncontiguous files to 12.4% ! I got back to 9.2% with the original process. I am guessing that some type of fragmentation is copied with the files. BTW, the root partition where I made the notboot directory is 1.8% . I can live with 9.2%, but I am open to trying more! :) -- Kind Regards, Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
