E4DEFRAG

[Eric Wick]

As i found out, with ubuntu 12.04 the user can do a e4defrag. While testing i see good benefits with bigger files like movies on the partition. The fragments were puzzled out and a copy of this file is even faster.
Will the services (DLNA, FTP) from alt-f benefit? Cause on the box we have large movie files and sometimes big backup archives. At the moment there is no e4defrag package for testing available. Can we place a e4defrag to the wishlist for next version?

As RC2 announcement says:  "e2fsprogs-1.42 just don't fit the available flash space.". And 'e4defrag' ships with e2fsprogs-1.42 only, so no luck.

You can try to use the 'chattr' command, search for reference to it in this forum, and see if it works for you.
