Note a port in NetBSD speak is not the same thing as a port in FreeBSD
speak.

Please direct all discussions on this subject to a more appropriate list.
This list, netbsd-ports, is inteded for discussions of adding new ports to
NetBSD. i.e. making it run on new classes of machines (like SGI, PA-RISC,
etc).

I think you either want tech-kern, to discuss details about what
filesystems need defragmenting, or tech-pkg, to discuss making a package
of a defragmenting tool.

Also, note that ffs has a different meaning of fragmentation than say
macos or msdos filesystems. I'd be happy to chat more about them, but
tech-kern is a better place to do it. :-)

Take care,

Bill
