| Jun 27, 2019 at 8:43 | comment | added | zypA13510 | @ChristopheL From what I see, the source you claimed to be has the timestamp "SEPTEMBER 28, 2016, 11:00AM EDT", while this answer is written at "Jan 15 '13 at 21:35". What amazed me is how you were able to foretell the URL of a post 3 years in advance? | |
| Mar 17, 2019 at 9:39 | comment | added | jlh | Be aware that e4defrag only defragments files, not the free space. If your free space is fragmented, then e4defrag won't work well, because there's no contiguous space to move any files to. | |
