Hi,
It is not nearly the problem that exists in Windows. ext2/3 writes files
with unused space between them so growth in a file is less likely to be
fragmented. As the space used approaches the capacity of the partition,
fragmentation increases and disk I/O degrades.
Here is one tool:

Cheers,
Mike
