When do I have to defragment my compressed partitions?

Watch the dutil output (see file dmsdos.doc for a dutil description). It displays a fragmentation value. You should keep it below 75% to feel safe. When dutil even displays a warning about high fragmentation, you should immediately boot Dos and defragment the CVF. Yes. All earlier problems have been avoided by moving dmsdos one layer down in the filesystem interface. Well, it does not support *compressed* FAT32 filesystems.

Why is it recommended to defragment partitions before installing Recovery Card?

Instant recovery cards - perfect protection and recovery for...
This is because Recovery Card occupies the last sectors of your HDD. If there are any files occupying these sectors, it will be moved by defragmenting, otherwise it will be overwritten during installation. Recovery Card doesn't require defragmentation before installation, unless the hard disk had been used for long time without defragmentation.

Will SpinRite also defragment my drives?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Nope. SpinRite is not a drive defragmenter. SpinRite operates with the drive's built-in intelligence to reassign and relocate defective sectors without creating file system fragments. Thus, running SpinRite does not create fragments, but neither does it eliminate any that may exist before it was run. You may use any common defragmenter (such as those built into Windows) either before or after using SpinRite.

How can I defragment a diskette and what is the speed gain?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
You can defragment a diskette by doing a File Copy of all files to a blank formatted* diskette or RAM disk which is the same size as the original. The Files on the copy diskette or RAM disk will be almost completely unfragmented. Note: If the diskette is supposed to be bootable, the target disk should be INITialized for the DOS (e.g. DOS 3.3 or ProDOS) used on the original before doing the copying. For DOS 3.3, you INIT a disk.

I have compressed partitions, but I'm using umsdos. Can I use dmsdos without losing umsdos features?

No problem. It should work out of the box. If you want to use umsdos style long filenames inside the CVF, you can even mount it as type umsdos instead of msdos. (Uhh. Use kernel 2.0.xx or get at least 2.1.94 for that).

edit] Q: How can I write data on NTFS partitions?

Using FAQ - Knoppix Documentation Wiki
Knoppix 5 supports write access for NTFS partitions using libntfs and fuse. While preliminary results show generally good stability and a low likelihood of data corruption on the NTFS partition, these libraries are still beta and there is risk of data loss and disk corruption (back up your data first). Knoppix (and the Linux kernel) can read NTFS partitions just fine, the danger is only present when attempting to write to it.

How do you calculate the holiday entitlement for someone working compressed hours?

Frequently Asked Questions - BERR
You need to calculate the holiday entitlement in hours. For example, if a worker works a 36-hour week (over four days instead of five days), their annual holiday entitlement is 36 hours x 4.8 weeks = 172.8 hours holiday for the year. Rather than taking a day's holiday, they would take the number of hours that they would have otherwise worked on that day (i.e. for 36 hours worked over four days, they would take 9 hours' holiday for each day otherwise worked).

Will MDs of the future contain un-compressed data?

Minidisc Frequently Asked Questions
Sony produces high density Minidiscs and drives with a capacity of about 650MB for their MD Camcoder. Such capacity would allow a CD's worth of data to be stored uncompressed on an MD. However, new audio MDs made with such capacity would be incompatible with the existing hardware base (see below), and (assuming 16 bit linear recording), would not increase audio fidelity substantially.
