Been tinkering around with a program that can visually display my hard drive.  Red is the 'shallowest' files, (Closes to "/"), blue is the deepest. |

It's GrandPerspective, and I don't think so. Here's pic of fragmentation... (Via iDefrag):  Blue is data, white is no data. Beginning of drive is the left. Not too fragmented, because its nearly FULL, LOL. It WOULD be color coded for files, but apparently...  Files overlap? O_o I've never had any corrupted file issues so it's most likely nothing. I'm making space now (Got a DVD to import) and I guess de-fragging too tonight. ^_^ |

I have to share something with you.   This is my hard drive. Drive C: (system) - 1.47GB free / of 18.67GB total white - free space, blue - not fragmented files, red - fragmented files , green - 'untouchable' files (virtual memory etc. - should be in one place  ) Notes: For 5 years there was a Windows XP Home Edition. The hard drive was naver formatted, never de-fragmented. Even when my main board was burn and I was change it then I just delete some windows files (not all) and install Windows XP Pro on it (it's few months now). What was a surprise for me that some software in Program Files are still working even not re-installed (installed on old almost-deleted system). I got a second drive - 80GB - it's a little bit more clean. |

O_o. Upon further research, it turns out that Mac's HFS+ automatically defrags files under 20MB. Piotr, thats some pretty impressive fragmenting. O_o It's about 1/5 the size of my disk though.. How old is your computer? Mine is approaching 5, I think. Well right now I'm about to burn some DVD's and free up space. |

Upon further research, it turns out that GNU/Linux's ext3fs does not fragment significantly until the disk is close to full  Anyway. I just linked to the GNOME program Baobab. Well, KDE has an analog called Filelight. Stay tuned for an analysis =p |

I let my computer rest at night... Hmm: For OsX users out there, here's some space saving tips: • Know all your music? Import it to iTunes then trash it! iTunes keeps it in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ ! Current free space: 11.7Gig 24.66 Gig! :O! *Downloads* Its currently loading my drive... |

(...)
Almost 6 years without a single de-fragmentation. System installed 3 times, but without formatting - new one over the old one. But I think that best de-fragmentation is move everything onto second drive and then back to the first. Am I wrong? (of course, you can not do this with all files while system is running, but with most. I am preparing to this, but every time when I delete few GBs, then the new ones are coming. And both disks are full over and over... |
