I have not looked at how the calculation is done but my guess would be
that the 293 frags included unused areas of the files system that are
empty frags but might at some point hold an entire file, depending, of
course, on their size.  The 0.0% fragmentation I would take to mean the
fragmentation of the files, which is the only thing that really matters
when computing filesystem performance.
