A file server provides access to a file system built on a logical volume of data storage. The file system includes multiple cylinder groups of file system blocks, and the logical volume includes slices of the cylinder groups. The file server has a storage reorganizer for identifying allocated file system blocks in a selected slice, and evacuating the identified allocated file system blocks from the selected slice. The selected slice is evacuated by reverse mapping each identified allocated block to identify a file to which the identified allocated block is allocated, allocating a new block in another slice, copying data from the identified allocated block to the new block, and substituting the new block for the identified allocated block in the file.
