a quote from what ive read. (not word for word)
All filesystems get fragmented..
Linux ext2/3 use advanced algorithums to preallocate space
when writing files to the disk. to keep this to a min
you can try fsck.ext3 -D it sounds like what your wanting to do
man fsck.ext3
you can migrate from ext3 to ext2 and run the older programs
to defrag.. but again.. would just recomend to do the
backup data / format / restore..
