Defragging large filesystems

[Eric Gillespie <epgilles@sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu>]

I know this isn't a Debian-specific question but I'm at home for xmas and
I don't have access to the newsgroups here, so forgive me this
transgression.

I have an 8gig hard drive which I made a single ext2 filesystem to hold my
mp3s. While ripping and encoding some of my CDs, the fragmentation jumped
to 45%, so I figured it was time to defrag. e2fsck runs with no problems,
but e2defrag says it can't seek to the end of the filesystem. I've read
all the docs, none of which mention a size limitation or how to work
around this problem. Is there something I can do to make this work, or
another ext2 defragger?
