While it is true that rm and restore from tape will unfrag a disk to a
large extent, the only way to do it correctly that I know of is with a
utility from the people that sell CTAR. (compressed tar)

By the way, CTAR is available for Unix/Xenix/Aix platforms.., and they also
have an inode fiddler for Xenix/SCO Unix
