Is there any defragmenting tool in any distro?


Not anymore.


and if not why?


Modern filesystems are designed to minimize fragmentation in the first
place.  The need for a seperate, user-space defragger is the hallmark
of a poorly designed filesystem.

When I do fsck on my ext3 partitions, it usually reports something like
/dev/hda9: 743/7880704 files (22.2% non-contiguous), 13758077/15756922 blocks

Does that imply that the partition is fragmented or not? Though frankly I don't really care that much if it is.
