afaik, none of the *nix filesystems need to be defragmented. they're
all pretty good about keeping fragmentation down below 1%.
"thrashing around" could just be the filesystem shuffling things around
to prevent fragmentation. or maybe they just hit some kind of "full"
threshhold that ends up with more noisy operations.
