What fsck runs at bootup it will sometimes say X.X% non-contingous -
that's the fragmentation level of the volume.

As Adam said, there's no need to defrag a linux volume, unless you do a
lot of weird stuff with it. (I think MS filesystems are the only ones
that need regular defragmentation, which is probably because they
weren't originally designed for the non-stop world Unices live in.
