But in all my years of Linux use, I have not found a need for it. Back in the time I still used Windows I noticed windows getting slower, but Linux doesn't seem to have the same feature. :-D Linux tries to allocate more consecutive blocks for new files so they can grow without much fragmentation. And the kernel tries read-ahead and uses cashes to increase performance even more. -A.
