Storage Focus: File System Fragmentation
Overview Some file systems like NTFS and others have defragmenters that defragment the data space and sometimes the metadata space - notice the author does not mention metadata, just the space. (NTFS allocation and fragmentation is a topic unto itself.) The performance degradation caused by fragmentation does not generally happen immediately, but is rather slow and happens over time, making it even more difficult to diagnose. Usually, at some point the file system reaches a state where the performance is at a steady level of poor performance because the file system is as fragmented as it can get.
