I can only relay what I have read on previous posts on this topic and a little from OS class awhile back. Defragmentation is a FAT16/32 problem. Unix, from what I have heard and been taught, does not suffer from or need a defragmentor. I just read the other day that under UFS you cannot resize a partition. Your supposed to get it right the first time out. If ya need more space, then you have to make a new partition and mount it. Now... whether or not thats because no tool has been written to do it or for some reason its impossible under UFS, I dont know.
