One of the nice things about the Berkeley filesystem is that file
fragmentation isn't really an issue. As long as you keep below 80% of
the total disk usage, you should never need to defragment.

So how come everyone says Windows is hard to live with? It hasn't been
for me, and I'm not even smart or careful. What am I missing?

Things like disk defragmentation are an excellent example of the annoyances
that Windows users have to put up with, that people in the rest of the
world don't really have to worry about.
