ntfs-3g defrag?
Is there any way to defrag NTFS drive partitions mounted as ntfs-3g? I assume fragmentation still happens to NTFS formatted drives under Linux.

But I wouldn't care too much about that. Using NTFS formatted volumes in Linux is usually just a stopgap solution, so you'd better defrag them while they're connected to a Windows host. And do it frequently, at least every other week on regularly used drives. [X] Doc CPU |
Thank you for your reply. Well, that's rather depressing news frankly. Is it technically not possible or does Windows have some kind of secret sauce to handle NTFS?

All they found out is based on tedious debugging and reverse engineering, and probably lots of try & error. We should be awestruck at how fine it works. Isn't there another NTFS driver implementation for Linux that runs the native Windows driver in a virtualized environment "just like that", the same way as they do with the NDIS wrapper for Windows WLAN drivers? - Well, it wouldn't make a difference for the OP's question, though.
