Re: defragging??

Well, first off, I'm a mac user. I let my unix 'cron' jobs do their thing, so I rarely defrag anyway.

But, from what I recall when I was working at a place with sysadmins, they liked us to always leave 15% of our drive free. You may want to do a test.... Back up your stuff and don't delete it. Then do a defrag. Then run your md5/fingerprints on the shows you have. If you don't have errors, then I would say everything is fine and you can degrag without worries.
