I don't know of any defragmentation tool. Are you maybe thinking of "fsck"? It's a program to check the health of the filesystem and recover any lost bits, etc.
No. It was definitely a tool that included fragmentation checking and defragmentation functionality.
There was a program called "e2defrag", but it was for ext2 only. e2fsck will give you a fragmentation percent at the end. Just don't forget the "-n" unless the partition is not mounted!
