I think that only linux writes files contiguous on the harddrive.
Both ext2 and ReiserFS provide features such as user-level security and more efficient use of disk space, so that defragmentation tools, although they do exist for ext2 at least, are rarely needed.
Windows is just very sloppy with harddisk space |
Truer words were never spoken...
Also check out the network attached storage solutions using older hardware such as:
Naslite and
FreeNAS
Both are Linux based so they do not have fragmentation issues and they are quite easy (near plug and play) to use.
I'm using an old 500 Mhz AMD K6-2 Aptiva box with several 320 Gigabyte hard drives in it and it works a treat. Even if the original bios won't recognize the bigger drives these programs are bios independent so the big drives work anyway.
