Defragment

To defragment your filesystem, use the tool shake:

• Download it from http://vleu.net/shake/
• unpack it:

bunzip2 shake-0.99.tar.bz2
tar xvf shake-0.99.tar

• install dependencies, e.g. for SUSE Linux:

yast -i help2man

• build it

cd shake*
cmake .
make -j4 && make install

• find out the fragmentation of a file

tweedleburg:~/shake-0.99 # filefrag main.c
main.c: 1 extent found

• run shake

tweedleburg:~/shake-0.99 # shake main.c
tweedleburg:~/shake-0.99 #
