Here is a question that I have been asking myself.
Is the reason that we do not have to defrag in Linux, is because , Here is my theory.
When any Windows OS accesses a portion of a program to enable it to be used , and then when you are
finished with that said program ,the portion that was borrowed ,does not necessarily return to exactly the place where it was
originally. Consequently ,over a period of time ,the files ,etc. get jumbled up.
In Linux, I believe that when a file is accessed ,it is returned to possibly the exact place it was located or very near to
its original sector.
Is this possible.?
The reason I am bringing this up is because I shall be giving a talk on Linux/Open Source to my Probus Club ,and I am pretty sure
someone will question this, I want to be able to give a clear and concise reply.
Thanking you,
