Rob,
In general you do not need to defragment Linux (or Unix) file systems. 
The fsck(8) utility is supplied with every Unix and Linux system to
repair the file system. Each different file system contains its own
checking and repair utility, and fsck is simply a wrapper. (eg. e2fsck
for EXT2 file systems, reiserfsck for Reiser file systems). If you
really want a defragmenter, here is one that you can use:
