I just figure out this - unlike fsck, defrag does not check /etc/fstab so you have to explicitly use e2defrag. I guess I had problems understanding what you meant by the mimix fs, but 'defrag' will run specifically on mimix fs, and e2defrag on ext2 fs. Using e2fsck works great. Sorry about the confusion.
