I have some psx iso's on my arch partition and I was using Vista with Ext2 IFS to mount the ext3 partition and play the iso's with epsxe in Vista. Vista crashed in the middle of my gaming session and I was forced to do a hard reboot. Everything seemed fine untill I booted into arch again, it ran a forced fsck and told me that I have 3.9% non-contiguous space now.
I have done some searching around and learned that non-contigous basically means the space is fragmented, and 3.9% is nothing to really worry about. Just because its nothing to worry about doesnt mean I want it there though, so how can I fix this space?
In another thread I found two programs, one called defrag, and one called shake. Has anybody ever used either of these apps for this perpose? Is this the best solution?

Never on an ext3 file system... ext4 is rumored to have live defrag in the near future, but until then, you're only option as I understand it is to copy the entire exr3 partition, nuke it, then copy the files back. You can try using XFS which has a defrag util (offline) that I can tell you works great.

What's the problem with 3,9% fragmentation?!?! That's pretty normal! Just continue running your system, there's nothing wrong with your filesystem!

$(yaourt -S shake)
