File system fragmentation: Applications, Mitigation & Types

File system fragmentation, sometimes called file system aging, is a characteristic of a file system that stores files in non-contiguous blocks. It is a special case of data fragmentation. File system fragmentation negatively impacts seek time for disk storage (spinning storage medium), which lowers throughput. Fragmentation can be eliminated by…
