A software tool called fiDefrag is designed for defragmenting disks without being dependent on any specific file system.
fiDefrag is a defragmentation tool that can be used on Linux and any other Unix-like systems that support Python. It is a Python program that operates independently of the filesystem on the computer. This software is based on John Dong's pyFragTools but boasts several advantages. fiDefrag is a more efficient, faster, cleaner and newer program, with an organized and easier to understand code.
The fiDefrag tool can be run on any Unix system that meets its dependencies. Initially, it was designed to minimize file fragmentation on JFS filesystems but it can be utilized on ANY Unix-like system with a filesystem that fulfills its dependencies. JFS filesystems underwent stringent testing and proved to work better with them; however, ext2, ext3 and even ReiserFS can be used with the program.
To use fiDefrag, users must have root privileges. It can be executed via the command: python fiDefrag.py -h | -a | -d [-p ]. For more information on how to use the software, run the command 'sudo fiDefrag.py' in the command prompt. fiDefrag's effectiveness and easy-to-use interface make it a valuable addition to any user's toolkit.
