I did a little test.  Something fishy here.  I did a test with the
/data partition.  I store pictures and documents there and it was

remade the file system and copied it back using basically the same
command just in reverse.  This is what I got now:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # /root/fragck.pl /data/
3.88457269700333% non contiguous files, 1.04344379261138 average
fragments. [EMAIL PROTECTED] / #

That is not a lot better than it was before. It was 4.6% before. How is that? I copied it over then ran the command right after
without even touching the files.

Before you copy back, you have to "clean" the old partition - either by deleting everything or by partioning it.

I just did a mkreiserfs /dev/hdb1.  That should work right?
