Hello,

 

Is ther a way to defrag my disks ? In some folders full oj pictures, it becomes to slow !

 

Thanks

No.  I wouldn't have thought your problem is fragmentation however.

Linux filesystems tend to suffer less fragmentation. There was a post a while back about it if you search for it you should be able to find it. It did have instructions for doing it though.

 

The slowness, is that when you open the user share to view the files?

Is it to do with the disks spinning up?

Is it via samba share?

 

Those are usually the main culprits.

Bunch of images == bunch of thumbnails

 

Same delays when viewed by detail?

How many files? Have you looked at cachedirs: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4500.0

I access by windows 7 share. Folders of about 800 large pictures. Iy's not because of spinning disks.

Sounds like Windows 7 just taking time to look inside every file so it can create thumbnails.  One of my pet hates in Windows 7 is that it does this stuff when all I want is a list of file names...
