>not so fast, Yuri, Apple does not support defragging because Apple knows best.

Well, they designed and implemented the system, so they should know best.

And they do support defragmentation. Read that page again: "In this case, you might benefit from defragmentation, which can be performed with some third-party disk utilities".

The reality is that few users ever have to worry about fragmentation of their HFS+ drives. And if you are concerned about fragmentation, I suggest 'hfsdebug', a free command-line tool.
