Vitillaro) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: Fragmentation on UFS filesystems Date: 18 Oct 1994 00:04:12 +0100 Organization: Centro di Calcolo - Universita' di Perugia Lines: 22 Sender: peppe@ipgaix.unipg.it Message-ID: <37uvtc$61l@ipgaix.unipg.it> Reply-To: peppe@unipg.it NNTP-Posting-Host: ipgaix.unipg.it Keywords: BSD, UFS, fragmentation X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #1 (NOV) I have a question I wasn't able to solve completely just reading documentation/manuals. If an UFS BSD filesystems has bsize=fsize does the allocation strategy (space/time) and the minfree parm have any importance? What I mean is that the filsystem shouldn't to get fragmented at all in this situation, so one can choose to set minfree=0 and the allocation=space, without the risk of any perfomance penalization and having the possibility to use all the available space. May any one confirm or negate this statement?
