When i want to repair with repair system from dvd it tells me that the repair and check operation for encrypted LVM devices is not supported. so how can i fix my filesystem? Please give me a step by step instruction.
yeah you are right. it just means that the ext3 filesystem is a bit fragmented. this is what they are sying in irc. i havent tried it yet but the program shake should be able to defrag the filesystem in userspace. for opensuse 11.2 there is a package in buildservice.
however in the case of bigger issues shutdown -rF now should do what i want.
just in case someone needs help for the same problem
Yes, your fragmentation is almost nil. No need to do anything, wasted effort and time (and may be a smalle change for problems). I think almost nobody here did ever defragment an ext2/3/4 (or a Reiser).

From what I read, on-line defragmentation for ext4 is in the pipeline. That
said, these file systems never get badly defragmented the way that the ones from
Redmond do. Proper design works wonders. I have been running Linux since 1997
and I have never defragmented file systems on other than Windows.
