I have fsanalyze, which analyzes a filesystem for file-fragmentation and
access times. I'd like to know
a) Would it make the system faster when I reorganize the filesystem?
Or is this irrelevant for UNIX filesystems?
What about the filesystem types (BSD,SYSV, fast-fs)
b) If so, what is the best way to reorganize?
- backup using cpio, mkfs, reload?
Or is there any program that does what PCTOOLS Compress does for
MS-Doesn't disks?
What ordering would be most beneficial?
- Directories first, data files later
- Directories together with data files
- executables first (giving a list of the expected executable files)
- anything else?
