1. For file systems, resizing logical volumes can be simpler than resizing partitions because LVM obviates the need to set aside contiguous sets of numbered sectors in the form of partitions. 对于文件系统，调整逻辑卷大小比调整分区大小要简单一些，因为LVM以分区的形式避免了预留相邻编号扇区集合。
2. Shell will be the operator in this highly contiguous acreage, and will be able to integrate these new assets into its existing South Texas operations, where Shell has been active for many years. 壳牌公司将极有可能成为邻近地区的运营者，并将新的资产整合到现有的德克·萨斯南部的业务中。在该地区壳牌公司已经积极运营了多年时间。
3. For example, it is just as costly for an allocator to determine how much total contiguous space would be gained by coalescing chunks as it would be to just coalesce them and then resplit them. 例如，让分配器判断通过合并块能获取多少总共的连续空间的开销和直接合并然后分割它们的开销一样大。
4. As we saw in the pictorial example, an object needs contiguous space to be allocated on the heap. 正如我们在之前的示意图中看到的，需要为对象分配heap上的连续空间。
5. Informix 11.7 introduces the new DEFRAGMENT SQL API option, which moves data to new extents, creating contiguous extents that can be coalesced into a single larger extent wherever possible. Informix 11.7引入了新的DEFRAGMENT SQL API选项，这将移动数据到最新盘区，创建连续盘区，尽可能合并成一个较大的盘区。
