A couple of questions.  Are there any linux tools that can de-frag an
ext2/3 partition?

ext2, yes. ext3, no. And it is called a filesystem. A partition is a completely different thing. none for ext3 because it was not really necessary for ext2 and so the tool never got updated.


Are there any advantages to doing so if you're running hardware RAID5?

Are there advantages / disadvantages if you're running LVM?
   === Al
you're in luck cause you don't defrag an ext2/3 partition at all. defrag
is for windows file systems. Ext file systems are a different animal
all-together.

Why?  What's different between NTFS and ext2/3 that defragging is
needed in one but not the other?

Implementation and design?
