I've been running ext2 on an old 486 for four or five years now. It is my internet gateway. I've never had to defrag it in all that time. Actually I didn't reboot it for the first two and a half years either - and then only because I was upgrading. Eat your heart out Windows :)

Not realy defragging itself, but reservating bigger straps of diskspace in advance, so files do not get fragmented as in DoS. The result is: do not care. For those who are brave, keep daily backups and love reinstalls <grin> there are some tools out there, for defragging ext2, seen it mentioned here, but I never cared. How about ReiserFS on that topic?
