[ale] ext2fs and non-fragmentation

[sangell at nan.net (sangell at nan.net)]

Anyone know of a good site that explains in detail the how ext2fs avoids
fragmenting disks, (or maybe you can explain it yourself). I am trying to
replace some more MS servers and was asked the question in a meeting
yesterday, "How does linux avoid fragmenting drives?" and to be quite
honest I couldn't answer, and to some "It just doesn't!" is not a
sufficient answer. I tried a few searches on google but the previous answer
was about all I could find.

Thanks in advance.
