But I can not find any explaining for ext3/4 framgment from google, excepting someone saying ext2/3 does not support this feature. Can anyone tell me what is the function or purpose of fragment of ext file system ? Thanks in advance :-) Coly -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGsan5uTp8cyZ5lTERAvNJAJ0RVII/NFrq8V37AB+tNZ7r291hggCgltef PC9UiC9elgGZGAMdbHKAz9s= =pgty -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
