A couple of questions. Are there any linux tools that can de-frag an ext2/3 partition?
Are there any advantages to doing so if you're running hardware RAID5?
Are there advantages / disadvantages if you're running LVM? === Al

you're in luck cause you don't defrag an ext2/3 partition at all. defrag is for windows file systems. Ext file systems are a different animal all-together.
Dear Salam,
Well i have used the command on shell "updatedb" it will allow you to make fast searching.

Then how exactly does updatedb work if it doesn't slow down your system?
On my boxes it always goes through the filesystem, looks at filenames, ownerships, permissions and so on and creates it's database. This puts load on the box and therefore slows down the system.

Peace, peace. He appears to have read between the lines and come to conclusion the OP was trying to improve searching performance.
