Disk Fragmentation

Arch recently ran a file system check, and sda1 came out to be 10% non-contingous, is this something that i should worry about?

Re: Disk Fragmentation

i'm looking there and i can't see sda1 on that page... It doesn't tell me what sda1 is, it just says / and /home etc..

EDIT: Shall i just paste the file here?

Re: Disk Fragmentation

Or just the command "mount" without arguments in a terminal.

Here is the output of "mount" :

[root@Arch-PC ~]# mount
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=127308,mode=755)

Yeah, so your /boot is on sda1 and that level of NC files for boot is fine.
