Ext4 online defragment has been already merged into the kernel space.
However, e4defrag command has been stopped updating since August 2009,
although some bugfix patches were posted.
I don't know why not e4defrag command is updated, but Ted, the e2fsprogs
maintainer, previously said that e4defrag needs acid test.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/321528
I have been continuing to evaluate e4defrag command. If someone would help,
please test the newest e4defrag by the following steps:
1. Download e2fsprogs git tree
# git pull http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git
2. Apply the patch I sent a while ago

3. Apply the latest bugfix patch
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=129015317309425&w=4
