On the subject of fragmentation and partition types, does anyone know about HFS+Journaling? I think that my Mac has the ability to defrag... but I also wonder, because lately my father has been experiencing data loss of settings and certain email. I switched him over to Thunderbird but the problem persisted. He has very little free space, and some people on his mailing list said that the problem was due to fragmentation and low disk space. Data loss due to that? Sounds like garbage to me, but then again I'm still relatively new to Mac systems. Any thoughts?

And of course, anyone know about ZFS with regard to fragmentation? Probably hasn't really been discussed, since ZFS really targets server systems.
