As I said yesterday, from Windows POV, it's just another volume. So yes, a defragger (which will be using the Windows defrag API) should defrag a TrueCrypt volume perfectly happily.
Actually, I've just gone and tried it (using a nice little defragger called JkDefrag: http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/) and it seems to work fine.

For speed reasons, I might tend to copy disk intensive stuff out for working on. My only concern is - does it get fragmented ? will normal disk defraggers work ?
