Ext3 File System: Dynamic Reorganization

[MirJafar Ali]

Hello,

I am wondering why this is not implemented and available, when there are
so many articles written in late 90's showing great performance
improvements.

I was thinking because I could not find any de-fragmentation tool for Linux
similar to windows, so I was assumings that probably Linux file systems are
smart and they must be reorganizing behind the hood.

Thanks

Mir
