I wonder, does a file's attributes affect auto defrag?
ie if it's finder locked, or 000 access, or ACL'd out, will it still auto defrag?

is there another flag that prevents it? IIRC in dos there used to be a flag I thought that would specifically prevent this, a lot of copy protections would set this flag and then record how the file was stored, and if that changed, it would choke. This screwed around with defrag apps that could cause apps to suddenly inexplicably break after a a defrag.
