This sounds pretty dangerous to me. There are a lot of special things in the OS X filesystem that OS 9 doesn't know or care about, so it's important that whatever OS 9 utility you use for this handles them safely. Defragmenting probably doesn't have that much potential for destruction, but I'd be curious to know if this might screw up drives with journaling enabled. -- agreenbu @ nyx . net andrew michael greenburg
