[ale] Ubuntu Linux Defrag EXT4

[Ron Frazier]

Greg,

Thanks for the tip.  Based on other comments, I don't think I'll be 
defragging Linux just yet.

A few people mentioned corrupting a Linux / Unix HDD by running utilities 
while the partition is mounted.  When I run chkdisk on my Windows system in 
read / write mode, it pops up a dialog that says it can't run the test now 
because the system is in use.  It offers an option to run the test the next 
time I reboot, and I click yes or no.  Linux should offer me the same 
courtesy, in my opinion.
