Edvard: try maintaining an Arch linux setup for a while - eventually, the speed of "pacman" (lovely name for a package manager ;)) slows to a crawl... because of fragmentation.-f0dder (April 25, 2008, 11:25 AM)

I'm not going to argue that, I was merely pointing out how to resolve the issue you referred to in your previous post.
Edvard:
OK, I'm going to sidestep the flow here and say fragmentation is the least of my worries running Linux. :D
Wikipedia says it pretty well:

Besides, Ext4 will have built-in defragmentation, so there. :P
