I've never seen such a thing.  I think Linux file systems are fairly immune
from the rampant fragmentation that plagues Windoze systems.

I believe fsck (or something like that) reports the fragmentation - and I've
seen systems that have been in active use for *years* that seem to have almost
no fragmentation.

It's just not something you have to worry about anymore.
