Defragment software for Linux


Hi, i need some software to defrag my partition. In Windows, many choices for me, but in Linux, why have little ?

Can you tell me some good apps for defragment ? And if it can defrag both Linux and Windows partitions, i'll be very happy/

No you don't.

Some reading about the reasons why:
Why Linux doesn't need defragmenting
Linux file system defrag

Cheers!

If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will find a list of threads similar to this one. They explain in great detail why you usually don't have to bother with defragmenting in Linux.
