There is a myth that “linux filesystems don’t need to be defragmented.” As it may be truth in general, it still can be dispelled by a simple script, which creates a certain number of directories and in each of them creates and deletes a certain number of files - in, let’s say, two passes.

So, does your filesystem need defragmentation?
