With the discrepancy shown; Size: 77G Used: 73G Avail : 194M MIA: 4G I am wondering whether the time has come, for Linux to implement disc defragmenting. What I have observed, in insufficient resources (apart from when I run out of space for downloading incoming email), is notsomuch insufficient disc space, but, the problem of the memory not swapping (note the memory usage, and, the swap space usage), leading to things going wonky. Also, some times, when the home partition disc space gets close top running out, and I have to force a reboot for other reasons, the rebooting magically frees up as much as about 1 to 1.5 gigabyte of disc space.
