Pad all your files to be a multiple of the file system block size! :-) Sorry, couldn't resist... "Fragmentation" in unix (FFS) and DOS (FAT) are quite different things. The two concepts have nothing in common at all. One could say that what DOS defragmentation programs do, unix does continuously. Don't worry about it.
