An extra disk, maybe.  The tools don't exist.  I think someone started
on an experimental ext2 defragmenter, but I don't think it ever got past
the experimental stage.

I just tried a Google search on 'ext2 defragmenter' and it returned
<http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/5.05.shtml> as the first result.  In
fact, most of the top results (at
<http://www.google.com/search?q=ext2%20defragmenter>) are variations of
the same couple of statements.  It looks like there's also a Debian
package, as well:

defrag - ext2, minix and xiafs filesystem defragmenter

Package information page at
<http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/defrag.html> for stable and
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/defrag.html> for unstable.
