On some systems, such as SCO Xenix, an approach such as the following
has the effect of defragmenting file systems.

(a)	backup up the file system you want to defragment (or at least
major directory trees in that system);

(b) verify the backup;

(c) remove the backed up files;

(d) fsck -s

(e) restore from the back up.
