@BigPup - Actually 1000 files (typo). Partiton deleted & recreated via Gparted for each test, including original. Could be a fsck version issue. Last test was from Slacko64-6999. Have retested with BigPup's suggested command, but from LxPupSc64 - 22.7% - 614 non-contig files in both ext2 & ext3. Ext4 - 0.4% in 12 files.

What device is this partition on?

I am getting reports at much less readings than those for ext 3 on a usb hard drive and a usb flash drive.

I am using Xenialpup64 7.5
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
GParted 0.25.0
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
