You don't need it. Any native linux file system such as ext2/ext3/reiserfs will prevent defragmentation. If you notice defragmentation as shown after fsck more than 3 %. You can just move the data to another partition and move it back to original location. It will make sure that data is written as it gets. So it's like kinda defragmentation you can do if youhave space.. Don't try this stunt with system dirs. like /usr etc. Anyway you don't write to /usr very often so you can forget about it. But certainly worth a try if you put lot of data in /usr/local.
