I have used e2defrag with good results in the past. The awkward thing is
that you can't use it on a mounted filesystem (making defragging your
root
filesystem a pain). You should be able to pick it up at your favourite
sunsite mirror.
Having said that, I wouldn't plan on doing defrags on a cache server...
it could take hours, and what would the users do in the meantime?
Better just to give ext2 space to stretch its legs.
