The stock answer is that a defragmenter is not needed since the
filesystem parts of the kernel do a decent job of keeping the filesystem
in a non-fragmented state without the use of external tools.
I've also heard that it starts having trouble once the filesystem gets
past about 90% full or so.
In that event, what would you use?
