Do a full backup and repartition all of them (excluding root and swap of
course ;-) into one huge MD array. Then mke2fs the thing with sparse super-
blocks and an intelligent (i.e. not ten times as many as you'll need)
number of inodes.
You now have more free space than before, and fragmentation will be down,
both because you just restored everything ;-) and because with a bigger
disk more free blocks will actually be adjacent. (Do the math yourself...
The topic came up a few months ago WRT memory blocks.)
