#!/bin/bash
# defrag v0.08 by Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org
# Braindead fs-agnostic defrag to rewrite files in order largest to smallest
# Run this in the directory you want all the files and subdirectories to be
# reordered. It will only affect one partition. It works best when run twice.
# Are you really crazy enough to be using this? It might blow your data
# into tiny little useless chunks.
