Terry, I don't think the picture is quite as bad as you paint it. The clustering code of FFS will defragment files automatically as they grow. While it is true that a highly fragmented filesystem will not be magically fixed by growing it, any new files will be written out as large files as they get large. don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
