Abstract
A file fragmentation removal method includes collecting input/output system call information of a plurality of file input/output system calls by an application of at least one target file used by an application operating on an arbitrary filesystem, generating a file range list of items comprising information on a start point, an end point, and an access count of input/output based on the input/output system call information, selecting a plurality of fragmentation target items based on the file range list and a predetermined threshold, and selectively removing fragmentation based on whether individual items of the plurality of fragmentation target items are fragmented.
