ext2, which is Linux's standard filesystem, does not need a defrag programme.
Neither does ReiserFS, which comes with Mandrake as an alternative to ext2.
Only inefficient filesystems like M$ FAT and NTFS need to be defragged. A
Linux defragmenter does exist, but it was designed for the older ext
filesystem, which ext2 replaced. Using this on an ext2 or ReiserFS partition
will not really prouce much of a performance gain, and may in fact corrupt
your data.

Your mouse has moved. Windows must be rebooted to acknowledge this change.
