I was wondering over a few issues. It will be great if the sun gurus throw
some light here.

1. Can fragmentation of the used space and the free space on the
disks affect performance. If yes
1.1) t owhat extent.
1.2) How t odetect that the disk is fragmented a lot?

2. Can we defragment the disks which have got fragmented over the years of
use.
This defragmentation can be thot of in 2 ways :
2.1 defragmentation of the free space.
2.2 Defragmentation of the used space.

3. Can we do it online ? mean with the online applications not getting
affected.
In windows there is a tool for the job and I was wondering if Solaris or for
that matter any
other unix flavours also has similar utilities !!
