At least Scott (not a Raxco employee) says "I remain cautiously optimistic of the value of guest defragmentation. I think the exchange of small IO for large IO is indisputably a Good Thing. However, virtual environments are very complex and I harbor some concerns about guest defragmentation in virtual environments that must be considered". And the comments are also a worthwhile read.
