HN discussionIt reminds me of how people used to think all filesystems needed to be explicitly defragmented because of design flaws in FAT, which was designed for floppies (and wasn't especially well-designed even at that). http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2006/08/17/why_do... http://www.howtogeek.com/115229/htg-explains-why-linux-doesn...
