no "defrag" in Linux?

[Peter Clutton]

ext3 is better than windows file systems like fat and ntfs, it is soo
unlikely you would reach more then 0.1 percent fragmented. By the way, it
takes 10 percent fragmentation for windows to report you need to defrag. But
if you really want to just search google for linux defrag
