However, there is a very good commercial package called THI-Tools, which contains a great optimizer for FFS-Devices called SpeedDisk. Unfortunately you have to buy the whole package to get it. (Though you also get a backup program, a benchmark program, a file manager and some other goodies if you do so) If you don't want to spend your bucks on a commercial program like this one, there is still a cheap way to do it: Simply backup the partition you want to optimize, format it, and restore all the files again. Your partition is well optimized again after that. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz, Kl. Drakenburger Str. 24, D-W-3070 Nienburg/Weser
