I've been running news on a PI for serveral months now.  Now when I run
gr_osview while news is running the io wait for disk stays pegged at or
near 100%.

Questions:  How badly does the IRIS fs fragment?  Should I bother to
save/mkfs/restore the thing?  Anybody know of a defragmenter?

Many thanks.
