I've been running Debian since before 0.91 and I've *never* defragged a drive.
I've got several systems running some at home, soem at the office, some at client's
site.
Not a one has ever been defragged. And the last I looked, I don't think any of them
have
fragmentation over 10%. Could be, but I've not been paying that much attention to
it.
It truly doesn't seem like an issue on ext2 filesystems.
