Thanks.

Dec 8, 2013 10:41 AM in response to Nima Zahadatby LowLuster,Take a good read of the link leroydouglas posted. It covers all the aspect of repair permissions.
OS X does get fragmented but not in the same way as Windows does (to long to go into). But OS X doesn't need defragging like windows does. The basic reason is even though OS X will place files All Over the drive none of them are really Fragmented. They are Whole Files not parts of file like in Windows.
