Posted: Jul 17, 2004 @ 5:36amWould this be the case for files system memory as well as program memory?
I can see how a file system would get fragmented, and how a linked list style could get fragmented, but individually alloc'd items would never get fragmented themselves - right? Otherwise, addressing them would be quite a task.
So, I assume you're talking about a collection of alloc'd items that have been fragmented.
Why would this be a problem, unless it's something to do with caching? It seems like it would take just as long to address an item whether it's at location X or Y.
