Alan,
I won't argue with you on ext2. You probably know that a lot better than
me.
OTOH, OS/2 Warp uses HPFS, which was also said (by Microsoft !-) to keep
defragmentation low and shouldn't need any defragmentation. Experience
showed, though, that defragging an HPFS partition *could* make a
difference. Primarily on partitions with static (or almost static) data
residing on them.
Defraggers were made and they proved a performance gain. Not that you
felt the difference in the keyboard, but for disk intensive apps it was
measurable.
Just a thought.
