I have been looking into the sources of fsanalyze and packdisk. One thing I noticed was that fsanalyze uses the gap and sectors/cylinder info from the superblock. Packdisk does'nt bother at all about this. So when packdisk has been used on a disk(partition) all blocks are order sequentialy. Has anybody already corrected the sources for this? An other option that might be usefull is finding out the optimal gap and using that value to optimise the filesystem. Who did do some work in the area already? -- Peter Brouwer, # Philips Telecommunications and Data Systems, NET : pb@idca.tds.philips.nl # Department SSP-P9000 Building V2, UUCP : ....!mcvax!philapd!pb # P.O.Box 245, 7300AE Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
