not currently; file contents also never hits swap, it would require like
a full vm subsystem rewrite to achieve this. It's probably a lot easier
to either write some defrag tool that can move stuff, or to make a
hidden automatic buffer in the fs
Hmm... I thougth there was no "defrag.ext3" in Linux because it
wasn't
neccesary. Was i wrong?
