Ubuntu doesn’t need disk-defragmenting
From this article:
If you’re a Linux user, you’ve probably heard that you don’t need to
defragment your Linux file systems. You’ll also notice that Linux
distributions don’t come with disk-defragmenting utilities. But why is
that?To understand why Linux file systems don’t need defragmenting in
normal use – and Windows ones do – you’ll need to understand why
fragmentation occurs and how Linux and Windows file systems work
differently from each other.
