The problem I have is that when I copy the img to the CF, despite it being 80% empty the file gets fragmented and so g4d can't boot it.
If I had a working XP on there I'd just use Wincontig under that but I don't.
Putting the img on a USB, defragging it from my Windows machine and then booting from that before copying the img to the CF and defragging it from there isn't going to work either as a) the laptop only has USB1 which is excruciatingly slow and
it can't boot from USB anyway (although I might be able to get round that with PLOP).All I can find in Linux forums is people saying how pointless and unnecessary defragging is under Linux, so I don't think I'll get much help there.
So is there anything that I can use in Linux to do the same thing as Wincontig (i.e identify and defrag individual files)?
, example:
) not as many connections with a "disk defrag" as it is performed under Windows than you might think (i.e. making single files contiguous is IMHO a far lesser priority in the optimization of a windows filesystem than other things, like placement and order of files).
, I'm having a bit of trouble with a 16GB CF in a laptop (it boots and loads Linux, just has trouble with LiveXP and Portable XP), so if you've got a moment, perhaps you could take a look at my other thread and see if you have any ideas
