I see you coming there: “I never defragmented my Linux system, in fact I never saw a tool for that, and my computer has never shown any problem.

Administrator DKT27 Posted August 3, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 3, 2012 Good info. In other words, de-fragmentation is less. Also, the way the ext4 works, you will get what you get from something like UltimateDefrag. :)From a long time, Windows users are asking M$ to add new filesystem that does this, but no, M$ makes a new filesystem that probably isn't as efficient as above and is limited to Server as of now. -_-I'm not a linux fan, well, not more than Windows atleast, but there are those small, important things that I appreciate about it.
