That is, a utility to move files around on the disk so that they are less fragmented (more contiguous) and larger free space areas exist on the disk. At least four companies sell utilities for VAX/VMS to do what I just mentioned. And there is even such a utility for the CDC NOS. Please don't suggest a dump and restore unless you'll come in on weekends and do it for me. Then again, maybe UNIX doesn't need such a utility. But why would 4.3 BSD fsck report on the fragmentation, then? Thanks. Jon Eichelberger eichelbe@NADC.ARPA
