How to Repair and Defragment Linux System Partitions and Directories

People who use Linux often think that it doesn’t require defragmentation. This is a common misunderstanding across Linux users. Actually, the Linux operating system does support defragmentation. The point of the defragmentation is to improve I/O operations like allowing local videos to load faster or extracting archives significantly faster.

Defragment Linux System Partitions and Directories

The Linux ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems don’t need that much attention, but with time, after executing many many many read/writes the filesystem may require optimization. Otherwise the hard disk might become slower and may affect the entire system.

In this tutorial I am going to show you few different techniques to perform defragmentation on files. Before we start, we should mention what the common filesystems like ext2,3,4 do to prevent fragmentation. These filesystems include technique to prevent the effect. For example filesystems reserve free block groups on the hard disk to store growing files completely.

Unfortunately the problem is not always solved with such mechanism. While other operating systems may require expensive additional software to resolve such issues, Linux has some easy to install tools that can help you resolve such problems.
