I've read in many places that file systems on Linux do not suffer the
same fragmentation problems of Windows systems.  No one has provided a
clear explanation as to why fragmentation is not an issue for file
systems such as XFS.

Also, is there a way to determine the percentage of fragmentation on
an XFS file system?
