I used a program called 'Diskeeper ' Defrag which was
able to remove those end of drive directories from Win.
Its commercial software but it was available on a free 30
day evaluation trial (don't know if it still is) from execsoft.com.

Are you sure you need to defragment your par

pre1st: Read this and decide if you realy want to do so,

Why do you want to use defrag? Linux's standard filesystem (ext2) does
not

If you don't have any files opened for writing, this should do the trick:
mount -n -o remount,ro /

The old extfs and xiafs file systems were officially discontinued and
removed in the 2.1.x series kernels as obsolete.

Do you not have this file, or is it not
detecting that it exists?

I have been trying to compile defrag.
I get the following error:
/usr/include/linux/config.h:4: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or
directory
xdump.c:56: linux/xia_fs.h: No such file or directory

Whoops. Exactly right. You should umount the partition before doing an
fsck. Mea culpa.

It'll complain if the disk is mounted for write. You should be able to

I'm not certain, but I think it's unwise to run this command on a mounted
filesystem. I usually run it from a rescue root disk if it's for my
system's root partition.

I've seen a few people state their fragmentation percent. How do you get
this number?

It is out-of-date and perhaps somewhat dangerous to your filesystem.
You also don't need it. ext2fs tends to keep your disk blocks in order.
It's not nearly as bad as the FAT filesystem in this respect.
The best way to defragement any filesystem is to back it up, make a fresh
filesystem, and resto
