I'm a bit puzzled by the fragmentation messages from fsck in SUNOS 4.0.X.
On a live /home directory with lots of I/O, the fragmentation percentage
never seems to exeed 1.5 %. (4/280 2*890MB 32Mb mem)

Also, sometimes SUNOS barfs at console that my news spool filesystem
changes optimalisation  to maximum storage.  I grepped through my SYSADMIN
books, but I cannot find a clear explanation.  Does SUNOS 4.0.X something
with on line defragmentation  and optimalisation??

Any suggestions welcome, Please Email.
