Every file system fragments, Linux as well as Windows. Before Windows XP, one have ran a defragmenter. These were shareware programs where you could see how the distributed data on the hard drive was being merged. Since Win XP this has happened automatically in the background and is today no longer an issue at all.
To Linux. The file system also is fragmented and fragmented under ext2/3/4 & Co, but this was always done automatically there when booting up or during operation, so that the normal user never noticed anything about it. You can not see the work in the background either if KDE or Gnome is started right away, as probably 99% of users do.
Until the end of 2011, Suse 11.2, I always started my system with the command line and then started KDE via "startx". I could always see what was happening when booting. Then, at intervals of two or three weeks, one could see how the system checked the individual partitions and, of course, defragmented them at the same time.
Again as a conclusion: Every file system fragments, only this happens in the background, and the functions for this are getting better and better.
Then just like this: Login SuSE in the VirtualBox
