Sorry if wrong section.
I have a relatively (50G) large file on ext3, I need good linear access / bandwidth times on it. Is there a way to "defrag", the way it was copied over to the server I am pretty sure was fragmented pretty badly. I don't need perfect defrag, but is there a good way to make the file "less fragmented"?
Would a something simple like
cp my_file /tmp/garbage
rm my_file
mv /tmp/garbage my_file
do the magic?
