Hi all
i was wondering, do i need to do a maintenance check on a beowulf cluster? like in windows, we do a defragmentation once in a while, what about linux? if so , how do we do that for all the nodes?
THank you all
sincerely

You dont need to defrag the ext2 filesystem. Actually from what I have read I think that it will do more harm than good, even though there is software somewhere that allows you to do it. You will get some fragmentation but its minimal unlike windows. :D
