In a 100 mb file?  It could be better, but I very much doubt you're
going to notice a difference after defragmenting that.  I may be the nut
that rescued the old ext2 defrag utility from the dustbin of history,
but even I have to admit that it isn't really important to use and there
is a reasson why the linux community abandoned it.
