Defrag..?

[Kent J]

Hi all,

I have a disk array of 4 harddrives.
Do I have to defrag the array (raid5)?
Is it advisable?

Yes as it streamlines the access to the logical structure of the drive. It
doesn't matter what kind of partition is behind it.
The stripes on the array itself probably are as optimal as possible.
