I beg to differ; I got one (called 'defrag') but never ran it. It was alpha
or beta anyhow, and I ran it once; I had to unmount the disk (/ in my case).
It wouldn't run off a floppy because it needed libraries :-o. Shades of M$?
Apparently the logic is that the ext2 auto defragmentation isn't perfect and
this improves access times - particularly if you have all on one partition
and greatly varied directory size. It only tackles the whole disk, and
unmounted at that. I can chase it up if you're mad interested.
