Fragmentation command in linux?
Hi,
Please let me know more details on fragmentation in redhat linux and command to check fragmented files?

Thanks,

As far as I can see, there isn't a command for fragmented files - fsck checks file systems on boot.

Fragmentation in Linux (a news item) is not the same as fragmented files.

Though file fragmentation is not an issue with GNU/Linux various filesystems, there is a defragmentation tool for ext2/3

O&O Defrag Linux V1.0

as well as defrag from here
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/defrag/


You can read about many Filesystems here;
