I am writing a program to measure fragmentation in a UNIX file system
and really need some good documentation.  I find it hard to believe that
nobody else has done this before, but I am at a loss for documentation
on it.  Does anybody know of some good literature on measuring UNIX file
system fragmentation?  I have already read the paper on the BSD fast
file system but I need some more extensive documentation.  Thank you in
advance for your help.
