To totally avoid fragmentation, you have to assign the full space for each file at the instant of creation, and separate files one from another sufficiently so that they can grow. When the disk gets quite filled, the strategy fails. It is possible to move about files while the system is running, if designed carefully. The easiest is to move unused files on iddle system periods - but I don't know of any operating system doing it.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying. e4defrag will defrag an extent based filesystem (as opposed to a block based filesystem like ext2). It does it with the filesystem online.
Ah, that's good news :-) Progress :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
