Hi,
I've got a simple question about disk use under windows and unix. While 
windows sometimes requires a de-fragmentation of the disk, it seems as Linux 
(and even Unix) does not. I believe this is due to a better defragmentation 
alghoritm, but I'm not sure. Is there a daemon which does this transparently 
or what?

Thanks,
Luca
