From what I've read and seen, Linux file systems don't need defragmenting. As far as maintaining your system goes, it depends partly on what you're using it for. However, I'd recommend looking through the references here at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ad.php?t=45261, I've found them very useful.

As gilead mentioned, due to their design, Linux file systems don't need to be defragmented, so the basic answer is "don't worry about it".

There are a couple of utilities floating around that are designed to defrag ext2, but personally I've never used them nor seen any reason to use them

Yeah... Forget about PROBLEMATIC NTFS AND FAT32 defrags...
WE DON'T NEED THEM IN LINUX
