Thomas JamesLet's see what happens when we use a different philosophy. The first type of filesystem is ideal if you have a single user, accessing files in more-or-less the order they were created in, one after the other, with very few edits. Linux, however, was always intended as a multi-user system: It was gauranteed that you would have more than one user trying to access more than one file at the same time. So a different approach to storing files is needed. When we create "hello.txt" on a more Linux-focussed filesystem, it looks like this:

Fragmentation thus only becomes an issue on ths latter type of system when a disk is so full that there just aren't any gaps a large file can be put into without splitting it up. So long as the disk is less than about 80% full, this is unlikely to happen.

Sébastien SAUVAGEUn excellente explication de la différence de conception entre FAT et ext2, et la raison pour laquelle ext2 ne nécessite pas vraiment de défragmentation. Et pour NTFS ? Il arrive à me mettre un fichier texte de 1 Mo en 80 morceaux. Pas terrible.

Why doesn't Linux need defragmenting?
It's a question that crops up with depressing regularity: Why don't Linux filesystems need to be defragmented?. Here's my attempt at giving a simple, non-technical answer as to why some filesystems suffer more from fragmenting than others.
Rather than simply stumble through lots of dry technical explanations, I'm opting to consider that an ASCII picture is worth a thousand words. Here, therefore, is the picture I shall be using to explain the whole thing:
