@catsalad I felt like the smartest man in the world when I did this back in the day. I could tell my friends “see, what I’m doing here is reorganizing my entire hard disk to speed up access and maximize my remaining space” and they’d stare at me with dead eyes and say “we getting beers or not, nerd?”
@Unabart @catsalad And for all the times I defragged, I never once saw an increase in I/O. My cynical self thought it was a lark that OS designers put in there and had a laugh every time it was used.
